April Book Club

Join Rebel Readers Cleveland for April's book discussion!

Every month, we invite a guest speaker with expertise on the book's topic, to deepen our understanding of the narrative.

This month, in honor of Arab Heritage Month, we are reading and discussing winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "The Return: Father, Sons, & the Land In Between" by Hisham Matar, an acclaimed memoir about fathers and sons, a legacy of loss, and, ultimately, hailed as one of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century.

When Hisham Matar was a nineteen-year-old university student in England, his father went missing under mysterious circumstances. Hisham would never see him again, but he never gave up hope that his father might still be alive. Twenty-two years later, he returned to his native Libya in search of the truth behind his father’s disappearance. The Return is the story of what he found there.
