Here's what we're reading this month In the Upper Country by Kai Thomas
The fates of two unforgettable women—one just beginning a journey of reckoning and self-discovery and the other completing her life's last vital act—intertwine in this sweeping, deeply researched debut set in the Black communities of Ontario that were the last stop on the Underground Railroad.
If you need an accessibility accommodation during this program, please register early so we can confirm arrangements a few days before your visit.
