She advises her father the emperor, instead of her brother, Dara. She helps with construction of the mausoleum for Mumtaz’s remains and falls in love with its architect, Isa, a man she can never marry. She defends the throne against a coup by her evil brother. The book for July 26th is The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. Contact: Janet Taylor at jct6619@gmail.com.

Vitalia Book Club Tuesday, June 12th | 9:30am | Augustine Room
This month is The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir by Jennifer Ryan.
