Now we're inviting you to join the club!Join us on Friday, January 16th at 6pm as we discuss Kiden’s pick, Angela Flournoy’s latest novel, The Wilderness.About The Wilderness:Desiree, January, Monique, and Nakia are in their early twenties and at the beginning. Of their careers, of marriage, of motherhood, and of big-city lives in New York and Los Angeles. Together, they are finding their way through the wilderness, that period of life when the reality of contemporary adulthood—overwhelming, mysterious, and full of freedom and consequences—swoops in and stays.Desiree is estranged from her sister Danielle, and the two nurse bitter family wounds in different ways. January’s got a relationship with a “good” man she feels ambivalent about, even after her surprise pregnancy. Monique, a librarian and aspiring blogger, finds unexpected online fame after calling out the university where she works for its plans to whitewash fraught history. And Nakia is trying to get her restaurant off the ground, without relying on the largesse of her upper middle-class family who wonder aloud if she should be doing something better with her life.As these friends move from the late 2000’s into the late 2020’s, from young adults to grown women, they must figure out what they mean to one another—amid political upheaval, economic and environmental instability, and the increasing volatility of modern American life.The Wilderness is Angela Flournoy’s masterful and kaleidoscopic follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut The Turner House. A generational talent, she captures with disarming wit and electric language how the most profound connections over a lifetime can lie in the tangled, uncertain thicket of friendship.Purchase the book here. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/95f7e2b0-c9f0-11f0-a6da-99e08071d459-rimg-w490-h740-dcfef3e9-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bridgeport/good-girlfriends-book-club-the-wilderness-by-angela-flournoy/100001975101430547 - **Event Categories**: Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Bridgeport - **state**: CT - **country**: United States - **location**: Kindred Thoughts Bookstore - **lat**: 41.178217 - **long**: -73.18934899999999 - **full address**: Kindred Thoughts Bookstore, 1001 Main Street, Bridgeport, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Good Girlfriends Book Club: The Wilderness by Angela Flournoy - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/d5344f994669f6cabcbb12c4b1604e6ea0f64a1ca1805f9614e41b287037c741-rimg-w1080-h1350-dce78077-gmir.jpg?v=1764069562 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Good Girlfriends Book Club: The Wilderness by Angela Flournoy being held? - **A:** Good Girlfriends Book Club: The Wilderness by Angela Flournoy takes place on Fri, 16 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 16 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Kindred Thoughts Bookstore, 1001 Main Street, Bridgeport, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Good Girlfriends Book Club: The Wilderness by Angela Flournoy? - **A:** Good Girlfriends Book Club: The Wilderness by Angela Flournoy is organized by Kindred Thoughts Book Club. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
