About the Event
Le Book Club: Take What You Can
Join us for Le Book Club as we dive into Naima Coster’s Take What You Can—a lyrical and gripping novel about family, identity, and the weight of the past. When Angel, a young Black woman, inherits her estranged father’s Brooklyn brownstone, she’s forced to confront the secrets, silences, and unspoken love that shaped her family—and herself.
We’ll explore themes of legacy, resilience, and self-discovery, and ask: How do we reclaim our stories when they’ve been buried for so long?
Whether you’re drawn to the emotional depth, the vivid prose, or the raw honesty of Angel’s journey, all perspectives are welcome for what promises to be a thoughtful and engaging discussion.
Please Note: We’ll be discussing the book in its entirety, including major plot points and the ending, so be sure to finish reading beforehand!
