Book Group

For the month of May, the St. Andrew’s Book Club will read Sarah Broom’s 2019 National Book Award Winner for nonfiction, The Yellow House. This memoir chronicles over 100 years and generations of the author’s family and their ties to a narrow, yellow-painted, shotgun style home in the then promising neighborhood of New Orleans East up until it was wiped off the map in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. “The Yellow House is a brilliant memoir of place, class, race, the seeping rot of inequality, and the internalized shame that often follows.”

Please join us on May 24 in Room 324 to discuss The Yellow House. Newcomers and visitors are always welcome.
