📚 "New Chapters" Book Club

✨ Discover life through books. Find your place. It's a friendly Toronto book club for people who enjoy reading and connecting through stories. We’ll read books and short stories about immigration, identity, family, cities, communities, and the feeling of building a life somewhere new. 🌍 You can read the book in any language. 🗣️ Our main discussion will be in English, but English, Russian, and any mix of languages are welcome. ✨ No pressure to finish the book - you’re still welcome to join us.

Our first book: 📖 Natasha and Other Stories by David Bezmozgis - a collection of stories about a Jewish immigrant family from the former Soviet Union living in Toronto.
