Course Description

JCC Book Club: Fall Session

Join us for a lively and welcoming season of the JCC Book Club as we dive into Fagin the Thief by Allison Epstein—a bold and reimagined take on the classic Dickens character. Together, we’ll explore themes of identity, justice, and storytelling through rich discussion and community connection.

Fagin the Thief:  A thrilling reimagining of the world of Charles Dickens, as seen through the eyes of the infamous Jacob Fagin, London’s most gifted pickpocket, liar, and rogue. Flips the script on Dickens’ notoriously antisemitic portrayal.

Meeting Dates:
📚 Sunday, August 31
📚 Sunday, October 5
📚 Sunday, November 16

Each meeting includes a delicious brunch and a chance to share perspectives in a warm, engaging environment.

As a special fall finale, book club members are invited to attend the author event with Allison Epstein on Wednesday, November 19 at 7 PM ET, where we’ll get to hear directly from the author about her inspiration and creative process.

Whether you’re a longtime reader or just discovering your love of book clubs, all are welcome!
