Ciervo Blanco Book Club organizes in Madrid a book discussion in English about the novel ‘Halsey Street’ by Naima Coster
This is a free book discussion in English. The only requirement is to have read the book!
About the novel
My debut novel, Halsey Street, is a story of family, loss, and renewal, set in a rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn. …I write fiction and nonfiction (but deeply admire poets), and I believe that stories should be emotionally messy, hard, and beautiful, as life is. I tend to write about the inner lives of women, family dynamics, memory, race, class, migration, art making, trauma and recovery, love and desire, and our attempts—troubled, brave, wild—to find connection.
Naima Coster
