Good morning Gotham.

The Gotham Book Club is featuring author Mac Griswold and her book, "The Manor: Three Centuries at a Slave Plantation on Long Island."

The discussion will take place on February 26th, 2014.  The time of the discussion is to be determined.

Here is a summary of the book from Mac Griswold's website:

The Manor is the biography of a uniquely American place that has endured through wars great and small, through fortunes won and lost, through histories bright and sinister—and of the family that has lived there since its founding as a New England slave plantation three and a half centuries ago. It is a historical narrative that tells the story of slavery, emancipation, racism, prejudice and silent prejudice in New England through a single piece of land.

You can find more information about the book at Mac Griswold's website: http://macgriswold.com/

Additionally, The Manor has been selected as this year's North Shore Reads book club choice!  Each year a group of libraries located on the North Shore of Long Island choose a book for a group-wide discussion.  For more information, see http://northshorereads.org/

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thanks!
