Potomac Library Book Discussion -- IN-PERSON

"Forbidden City" by Vanessa Hua

Please join us for a book discussion group at the Potomac Library on the third Wednesday of every month -- we will be discussing "Forbidden City" by Vanessa Hua at the first meeting!

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A teenage girl living in 1960s China becomes Mao Zedong’s protégée and lover—and a heroine of the Cultural Revolution—in this “masterful new novel” (The Washington Post)

"Forbidden City is an epic yet intimate portrayal of one of the world’s most powerful and least understood leaders during this extraordinarily turbulent period in modern Chinese history. Mei’s harrowing journey toward truth and disillusionment raises questions about power, manipulation, and belief, as seen through the eyes of a passionate teenage girl."

Copies available at the Potomac Library circulation desk beginning April 15.  Digital copies may also be available on Overdrive/Libby.
