Washington Heights Library: Book Club – Graphic Novel edition!
Join us to discuss one of NYPL's Best New Comics for Adults, Charity and Sylvia by Tillie Walden. The (mostly) true story of Charity Bryant and Sylvia Drake, two women who met and fell in love in Vermont in 1807 when Charity moved to Weybridge from Massachusetts. Being openly gay isn't easy in early America, but the two immediately connect and spend the next 44 years together, building a life in spite of the odds, as a lesbian couple in small town Vermont.All adults welcome! No need to finish the book to attend. This discussion will be led by our adult librarian.
