THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

February 2025

February 4. 2025

Artist: 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.
