Eritrea is on the verge of liberation from Ethiopian rule and in Washington, D.C.’s tight-knit Eritrean community, change is in the air. Thirteen-year-old Lydia and her family are grappling with what peace after decades of war might mean for their future, just as they welcome Berekhet—a distant cousin newly arrived from Ethiopia to attend medical school in the States. With him comes a barrage of new ideas Lydia must confront for the first time, about the stories of nationhood and family she was raised on.Meanwhile her mother, Elsa, a former rebel fighter, and the family matriarch, Mama Zewdi, must grapple with regrets long buried in the time their country has been at war. Elsa’s path from Eritrea to D.C. was paved with courage and loss, and figures from her past on the front lines of battle begin to resurface. Mama Zewdi, who runs a successful injera business out of her apartment, finds herself reexamining her place in their little family for the first time, while Lydia, emboldened by Berekhet, becomes committed to uncovering the secrets of her and her mother’s past—including the truth about her father, who was martyred in the war.A loving ode to an immigrant community on the cusp of a new age, I Hope You Find What You’re Looking For boldly asks: How does our past define our present? And what stories must we let go of to be truly free? - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/march-fiction-book-club-i-hope-you-find-what-youre-looking-for/100001977050461150 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, it - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Old Town Books - **lat**: 38.80359139999999 - **long**: -77.04368099999999 - **full address**: Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: March Fiction Book Club: I Hope You Find What You're Looking For - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/f7e0acc7f08697129d92d964f19ceab0f2036dcc885421dcee568c9baabd8a00-rimg-w1200-h600-dc7d8ec2-gmir.jpg?v=1765454952 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is March Fiction Book Club: I Hope You Find What You're Looking For being held? - **A:** March Fiction Book Club: I Hope You Find What You're Looking For takes place on Tue, 17 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 17 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing March Fiction Book Club: I Hope You Find What You're Looking For? - **A:** March Fiction Book Club: I Hope You Find What You're Looking For is organized by Old Town Books. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "March Fiction Book Club: I Hope You Find What You're Looking For", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/f7e0acc7f08697129d92d964f19ceab0f2036dcc885421dcee568c9baabd8a00-rimg-w1200-h600-dc7d8ec2-gmir.jpg?v=1765454952", "startDate": "2026-03-17", "endDate": "2026-03-17", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/march-fiction-book-club-i-hope-you-find-what-youre-looking-for/100001977050461150", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Old Town Books", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "130 South Royal Street", "postalCode": "22314", "addressLocality": "Alexandria", "addressRegion": "VA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "38.80359139999999", "longitude": "-77.04368099999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us as we discuss I Hope You Find What You're Looking For by Bsrat Mezghebe at our March Fiction Book Club!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-09", "availabilityEnds": "2026-03-17", "validFrom": "2026-04-09", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/march-fiction-book-club-i-hope-you-find-what-youre-looking-for/100001977050461150" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-09", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-09", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/march-fiction-book-club-i-hope-you-find-what-youre-looking-for/100001977050461150", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Old Town Books", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/old-town-books/22517177", "description": "Old Town Books is a new independent bookstore in Alexandria, VA.
