Book Clubs at Bel Canto Books

---

Join Bel Canto Books owner and head booknerd Jhoanna 

for our Book of the Month (BOTM) online book club.

We’ve chosen Mohsin Hamid’s “Exit West” - one of our favorite novels 

of all time - as our final read of the year. 

Called “an extraordinarily sympathetic, breathtakingly original book 

at the time we most desperately need it” by @nytimes, “Exit West” opens 

in an unnamed Middle Eastern country on the brink of war, as two university students meet and begin to fall in love. A book about migration, hope 

and how we survive the seemingly unsurvivable, it offers a realistic look 

at refugee life, tinged with magical realism.

Our November book is "Our History Is The Future: Standing Rock 

Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition 

of Indigenous Resistance" by Nick Estes.

About the book:

"In 2016, a small protest encampment at the Standing Rock Reservation 

in North Dakota, initially established to block construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, grew to be the largest Indigenous protest movement in 

the twenty-first century. In Our History Is the Future, Nick Estes traces 

traditions of Indigenous resistance that led to the #NoDAPL movement. 

Our History Is the Future is at once a work of history, a manifesto, 

and an intergenerational story of resistance."
