James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk is a profoundly moving novel about love in the face of injustice. Told through the eyes of 19-year-old Tish, who is in love with Fonny, a young sculptor falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned, the story follows their families’ fight to prove his innocence. The young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions—affection, despair, and hope. Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.
Borrow your copy of James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk
at the New Bedford Downtown Library Circulation Desk. Copies have been set aside and there is no wait. A one month rental period will be provided to all Adult Book Club participants.
Call 508-991-6278 with questions.
Event will be held in the Downtown Library Study Room on the 2nd floor.
