ABOUT THE EVENT

Books on Tap, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for twenty- and thirty-something adults, will meet Tuesday, April 28, 7:00 PM, at Great American Pub, 148 Bridge St., Phoenixville. The group will discuss Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Beloved.

Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. After the Civil War ends, Sethe longingly recalls the two-year-old daughter whom she killed when threatened with recapture after escaping from slavery 18 years before.
