Lily Reads BookClub: Book of the Week (Patreon)

Name: Linden Hills

Author: Gloria Naylor 

Synopsis: Linden Hills is the optimum symbol of wealth with manicured lawns and showcase homes. Linden Hills is no different from other affluent black communities. Living in the residence is evidence of “making it”. Though no one knows the qualifications to live in Linden Hills, they know that only certain people live there and everyone aspires to live there. A powerful novel that models after Dante’s Inferno, Gloria Naylor tells the story of how the price of success in search of the American dream, may lead you to the darkest pits of hell. 

Discussion: We will discuss black affluent culture.
