A Closer Look 
One City One Book
During the summer of 2007, San Franciscans throughout the city will be reading Cane River by Lalita Tademy as we get ready for exciting fall 2007 events.
In this extensively researched personal odyssey, Lalita Tademy brings to life four vivid and remarkable women in her family, beginning in slavery, sweeping through the Civil War, and into the pre-Civil Rights South. Set on a Creole plantation on the banks of Louisiana's Cane River, this New York Times best seller is a beautifully written slice of American history never before seen in such piercing and personal detail.
Get ready to talk about Cane River with other San Franciscans during special events and discussions taking place in libraries, bookstores, and schools during September and October 2007!
