  • This is Not About Us by Allegra Goodman

    NEW BOOK SELECTION | CBI Book Club

    Featured CBI Book Club
    Virtual Event (Zoom)

    The CBI Book Club will meet over Zoom to discuss This is Not About Us by Allegra Goodman; please note that Love and Shame and Love by Peter Orner will no longer be this month's book club selection. Goodman’s newest novel is a kaleidoscopic portrait of a modern American family — steadfast, complicated, begrudging, and loving — centering on the strained relationship between two sisters.
