Dr. Conseula Francis Reading Circle Virtual Discussion of "Brown Girl in the Ring" by Nalo Hopkinson Online

Join us via Zoom for our last book discussion for 2024!

Nalo Hopkinson, a science and speculative fiction writer relates in her first book, Brown Girl in the Ring, a dystopian story set in the late 21st century.  "...Due to the economic breakdown and rising crime rate, nearly every citizen has fled Toronto. The city is a slum, populated by the homeless, the poor, and criminals like Rudy, who uses the power of voodoo to help him control the booming drug market. But also left behind are people like Ti-Jeanne, who hope to use voodoo to help rebuild the city, even as Canada's privileged population turns to Toronto to begin harvesting human organs."
