We are so excited that Africaville by Jeffrey Colvin was selected as a December 2019 LibraryReads Pick! On this week's episode of The Library Love Fest Podcast, we explained how LibraryReads works and gave Jeffrey a call (he called in from a local New York public library!) to offer our congratulations.
Africaville is a stunning debut novel featuring a richly woven story of a town settled by former slaves on the outskirts of Woods Bluff, Nova Scotia, that is both bound together and torn apart by family, faith, and fate. Find out more about the book in the podcast audio below.
