For February, the group discusses The Book of Night Women by Marlon James. The novel is the story of Lilith, a woman born into slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the eighteenth century. Even at her birth, the slave women around her recognize a dark power that they - and she - will come to both revere and fear. The Night Women, as they call themselves, have long been plotting a slave revolt, and as Lilith comes of age they see her as the key to their plans. But when she begins to understand her own feelings, desires, and identity, Lilith starts to push at the edges of what is imaginable for the life of a slave woman, and risks becoming the conspiracy's weak link.

Writing in the slave dialect of the day, which nonetheless resounds with a contemporary sensibility, James bids us enter a world that is once exotic and familiar and which retains the power to inspire passion and controversy nearly a hundred and fifty years after the abolition of slavery in the United States. The Book Of Night Women introduces readers to the nightmarish reality of Caribbean slavery and it celebrates the ingenious, fiery, and ultimately triumphant spirit of human freedom. 202-466-4999.
