Books Over Coffee
Stratford Library Offers Zoom Book Talks
The Stratford Library has announced that its “Books Over Coffee” program will continue on the Zoom format through June 2022. The monthly book discussion program has been a popular staple at the library for over 40 years. It is free and open to the public.
The library continues to offer the latest in current titles and topics and, special for “Black History Month” on Wednesday, February 23rd, is The Sweetness of Water, a debut novel by Nathan Harris.
Taking place in the waning days of the Civil War, brothers Prentiss and Landry—freed by the Emancipation Proclamation—seek refuge on the homestead of George Walker and his wife, Isabelle. The story follows the unlikely bond between the two brothers and the Georgia farmer whose alliance will alter their lives, and his, forever.
