St. Ann’s Book of the Month Club will discuss The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity and Islam, by by Eliza Griswold. The book is a riveting investigation of the jagged fault line between the Christian and Muslim worlds. Investigative journalist and poet Eliza Griswold has spent the past seven years traveling between the equator and the tenth parallel: in Nigeria, the Sudan, and Somalia, and in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. An urgent examination of the relationship between faith and worldly power, The Tenth Parallel is an essential work about the conflicts over religion, nationhood and natural resources that will remake the world in the years to come. Please join us!
