Poplar Creek Public Library Book Discussion

Please join us for a lively discussion of News of the World by Paulette Jiles. An aging itinerant news reader agrees to transport a young captive of the Kiowa back to her people in this exquisitely rendered, morally complex, multilayered novel of historical fiction that explores the boundaries of family, responsibility, honor, and trust. In the wake of the Civil War, Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd travels through northern Texas, giving live readings from newspapers to paying audiences hungry for News of the World. Refreshments. Registration required.
