This month we're reading: "The Other Americans" by Laila Lalami.
From Pulitzer Prize finalist Laila Lalami comes a gripping novel about the suspicious death of Moroccan immigrant Driss Guerraoui, killed in a hit-and-run in a small California town. As his daughter Nora, widow Maryam, and a cast of diverse characters—divided by race, religion, and class—grapple with the aftermath, secrets are unearthed, hypocrisies exposed, and unexpected connections revealed. A family saga, murder mystery, and love story, this powerful tale examines the fault lines of American culture and the complexities of identity and belonging.
