THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS - FEBRUARY 2025
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
February 2025
February 4, 2025
Facilitator: Eshe Mercer-James
This month, as part of Jonelle Sills' theme “Mirrors,” Jamii’s Book Club will explore Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass. Following Alice’s journey into a mirror wonderland, we’ll explore the theme of reflection and ask ourselves: What’s in your looking-glass world?
The book is in the public domain and is easily accessible online, at libraries, or in bookstores. We invite you to read it and join our discussion, facilitated by literature professor Eshe Mercer-James.
