Friday evenings at 7:30 p.m.

Friday, June 1st "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot. Discussion led by Lorna Barrett

Exploring the intersections among ethics, race and medicine, this best-selling work of non-fiction traces the continuing "life" of cells taken without her knowledge from a poor black woman in 1951 to become the foundation of emerging scientific work on the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping and more.

Additional selections for the year include "The Swan Thieves" by Elizabeth Kostova, "Let the Great World Spin" by Colum McCann, "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand, "Old Filth" by Jane Gardam and "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" by Charles C. Mann.
