Our February pick is the novel Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi. We read Yaa's previous novel Homegoing in this book club a couple of years ago.

We will meet via Zoom on February 28th. Please RSVP in the group event.

Feel free to post about your reading progress or your thoughts on the book here.
