Evening Book Discussion - Ragtime by E. L. Doctorow

Cover of Ragtime

This book discussion will be rescheduled when the Library reopens. Racial equality. Women’s rights. Immigration. Terrorism. It sounds ripped from today’s headlines, but Ragtime takes place in 1906. The story follows three families whose stories are intertwined with each other, and with many notable people of the day.
