Join us for a One-Day Book Discussion of Michelle Obama’s bestselling memoir, “Becoming.” Starting with memories of her childhood on the South Side of Chicago and her years as a student at Princeton and Harvard Law School, the former First Lady moves along in time to offer intimate reflections about her marriage to Barack Obama, her experiences as a mother to Malia and Sasha, and her family’s launch into the global limelight and the eight years they spent inside the White House. As reviewer David Canfield notes, as an author she “invests in a sort of quintessentially American narrative, but subverts it by not shying away from the realities of race and gender, and finding opportunities for complex, candid reflection.” Come share your thoughts and opinions with other passionate readers in a relaxed, informal setting.
