Join us for a lively discussion of contemporary literature. We will be discussing The Chicken Sisters by K.J. Dell-Antonia. The author will visit for a special Q&A during this program.
The Chicken Sisters by K.J. Dell-Antonia, a recent Reese's Book Club Pick, tells the story of two rival restaurants and the families that run them. Merinac, Kansas. Chicken Mimi's and Chicken Frannie's have spent a century vying to serve up the best fried chicken in the state. The legendary feud between the owners--the Moores and the Pogociellos--has caught widow Amanda Moore in the middle. She had worked for her mom at Mimi's before marrying Frank Pogociello and working for Frannie's. When she convinces Food Wars, a reality-TV competition, to cover the feud, Amanda and her sister Mae must choose whether to fight with each other, or for their heritage. (Adapted from the back cover.)
