The Hudson Area Library’s General Reading Book Group will meet on Wednesday, February 19 to discuss Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate. This monthly group meets on Wednesdays, 5-6pm, covers fiction and nonfiction, and is facilitated by long-time member of the Friends of the Hudson Area Library, Sharon Getty. To register for this book group email programs@hudsonarealibrary.org.
The Huffington Post review says of Before We Were Yours: “One of the year’s best books . . . This story about children taken from their parents through kidnapping or subterfuge and then placed for adoption, for a price, clearly pours out of Wingate’s heart. . . . It is impossible not to get swept up in this near-perfect novel … Few novelists could strike the balance this story requires but Wingate does it with assurance. There are a lot of books that will catch your eye this summer, some from our best storytellers. Make sure this one is on your radar. It should not be missed.”
This book is available for borrowing through the Mid-Hudson Library System.
