Upcoming All Iowa Reads Events

Novel Conversations: All Iowa Reads Jun 18, 2020 from 07:00 PM to 08:00 PM — Coralville Public Library, Coralville, IA, Board Room,: Novel Conversations is a new book group at the Coralville Public Library. The group meets at 7 pm on the third Thursday of each month and will focus on both classic novels and more recent works of fiction and nonfiction. Read what you like, or try something new—you may be surprised at what you discover! All are welcome, and refreshments are served! In June, we'll be reading The Mothers by Brit Bennett, this year's All Iowa Reads selection. Nadia, a teen in southern California mourning her mother’s suicide, has a summer romance with Luke, the pastor’s son, that ends with a pregnancy and abortion. They move on to college and beyond, but their lives remain haunted by that summer, and by the chorus of older church women’s voices--the mothers--who meet to discuss their fates.
