August 29 - The Short & Tragic Life of Robert Peace
At our July 25th book group, we discussed What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty. The group really liked the book and felt it was a great summer read. Our refreshments included Lemon Meringue Pie, zucchini breads, and fresh fruit.
On arriving at Yale, Jeff Hobbs became fast friends with the man who would be his roommate for four years. Robert Peace's life had been rough, living in poverty with his mother in 1980s Newark, his father in jail. But he was a brilliant student, and it was supposed to get easier. It didn't. In an honest rendering of Robert's relationships in two fiercely insular worlds, Hobbs encompasses the most enduring conflicts in America.
