Sun King Sarasota presents: Books & Brews Book Club on the Third Tuesday of every month.

Join us on July 16th at 6:30pm for a discussion over The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

Audio listeners are also welcome to attend. Free to participate. All-ages are welcome to be a part of the book discussion. Be sure to bring something “Things You Cut in Half/Half & Half Items" as the pitch-in theme.

Book overview: The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect?

Books will rotate monthly and will be announced at the end of the book club discussion.
