**This novel is the 2023 Birss selection at Roger Williams University. Through the “Professor John Howard Birss, Jr. Memorial Lecture Fund” and “Professor John Howard Birss, Jr. Memorial Library Fund” (established by University alumnus, Robert Blais ’70), a significant or culturally impactful book is chosen annually to be honored. The program engages the campus and local community through discussions, celebrations, related collections, a library exhibition, and culminates with the annual Birss Lecture.
The adult book club is funded through the generosity of the Friends of the Rogers Free Library Community Grant Program.
