Centennial Book Discussion: The Bluest Eye In-Person
The Centennial Book Discussion Group meets the last Wednesday of every month at 7 PM. Each month, from January 2024 until January 2025, we will be reading a classic work from a different decade. Registration is not required.
1970s: The Bluest Eye (1970), by Toni Morrison
Set in the author's girlhood hometown of Lorain, Ohio, it tells the story of black, eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove. Pecola prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be as beautiful and beloved as all the blond, blue-eyed children in America. In the autumn of 1941, the year the marigolds in the Breedloves' garden do not bloom. Pecola's life does change—in painful, devastating ways.
