Book Club: Somewhere in Time Historical Fiction

If you enjoy some history in your fiction, spend an hour hashing out the details of—and the history behind—this month’s selection: Chava Rosenfarb's In the Land of the Postscript. This complete collection of Chava Rosenfarb's short stories centers the post-Holocaust experiences of survivors both like and unlike the author, a survivor herself.

This is a hybrid event. Registration is required for Zoom attendance. In-person attendance does not require registration. 

This meeting of Somewhere in Time is the fifth installment of SFPL's participation in the Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries, a reading and discussion program to engage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migration, and diaspora. In this program, librarians organize reading groups to discuss three books of Yiddish literature in translation, and one book related to the experience of a community served by their library. The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries is made possible by a gift from Sharon Karmazin.
