Event Details

Welcome guys, gals, and nonbinary pals! 

Join us at Queer Reads Book Club to discuss fiction and nonfiction books about and/or written by the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) community.

This month we'll be reading Fiebre Tropical by Juliana Delgado Lopera. 

Uprooted from Bogotá into an ant-infested Miami townhouse, fifteen-year-old Francisca is miserable in her strange new city. Her alienation grows when her mother is swept up in an evangelical church, replete with abstinent salsa dancers and baptisms for the dead. But there, Francisca meets the magnetic Carmen: head of the youth group and the pastor's daughter. As her mother's mental health deteriorates, Francisca falls for with Carmen and is saved to grow closer with her, even as their relationship hurtles toward a shattering conclusion.

You can access Fiebre Tropical on Hoopla as an ebook, or request a copy through the catalog. Need a library card? Get one here!

This program will take place online.
