The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot ~ Oct Book Club Online
Ella Gibbons:
I can get boring, OH, DEAR! But I want you to be sure to read the PROLOGUE: I quote:
""the family (Henrietta's family) had found out just a few months earlier that Henrietta's cells were still alive, yet at that point she'd been dead for twenty five years.
PatH:
Karen, have you read the book, or was it a failed TBR? For some reason, when it came out some remarks in the reviews put me off, so I never looked at it. But when I picked it up for this discussion, I couldn't put it down. It's a fascinating story, with lots of stuff to discuss.
bellamarie:
I'm going to check with my library today for the book. Sounds interesting.
Does anyone know if the discussion for middle September has been cancelled? I had that book on hold and was going to pick it up today.
ANNIE:
yes, Bella, we will discuss "Two Old Women" in November.
bellamarie:
Thank you Annie for responding. 😉 I was able to get both books today, so I will just renew them a few times. In the meantime, I'll glance over them.
