Multicultural Book Group meets April 6

Published 1:30 pm Friday, April 1, 2016

The Multicultural Book Group will meet April 6 at 7 p.m. to discuss “Embattled Rebel: Jefferson Davis as Commander in Chief” by James M. McPherson. People considered Davis an incompetent leader, but the author disagrees and makes a case for the military leader and president of an aspiring Confederate nation.

The group meets monthly in the 320th Federal Way Library. Their next meeting, on May 11 at 7 p.m., will feature discussion of “Elsewhere” by Richard Russo, an account of small town America and the story of the author’s mentally ill mother.
