History by the Book Club

By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult

History by the Book meets to discuss historical fiction and non-fiction books. We explore the deeper stories behind historical events and periods in the past.

This month we are reading: By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult

This novel is a sweeping story of ambition, courage, and desire, told through intertwining timelines. It follows two women who are determined to create something beautiful despite the prejudices they face. Should a writer go to any lengths to ensure her story lives on, no matter the cost? Rooted in historical primary sources, this remarkable novel guarantees that the name Emilia Bassano will no longer be forgotten.
