This October is a Month of Africa. Each year we focus on the literature of another region or country. Last October we focused on the Middle ... (more)East, the year before India. Every year when our book clubs vote on their favorite selections invariably some of the top choices are from the month spent reading about another region country. Through books we explore different cultures, visit other landscapes. We hope you enjoy our visit to Africa through the pages of great books.
