Laguna Beach Books monthly Book Club is Wednesday January 18 2017 at 6:30pm.
Laguna Beach Books January selection is Sacred Hunger by Barry Unsworth.
Sacred Hunger is a stunning and engrossing exploration of power, domination, and greed. Filled with the “sacred hunger” to expand its empire and its profits, England entered full into the slave trade and spread the trade throughout its colonies.
In this Booker Prize-winning work, Barry Unsworth follows the failing fortunes of William Kemp, a merchant pinning his last chance to a slave ship; his son who needs a fortune because he is in love with an upper-class woman; and his nephew who sails on the ship as its doctor because he has lost all he has loved.
Laguna Beach Books is located at 1200 South Coast Highway.
Laguna Beach Books Book Club is on the third Wednesday of every month at 6:30 pm.
Everyone is welcomed to attend.
This is a Laguna Beach free community event.
