This year's selection for the Big Rothesay Read is The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill.
This community-wide reading initiative invites both Rothesay High students and the community at large to read the book over a 6 week period and then join the author on June 2 & 3 at Rothesay High School.
Hill is really pleased that the school and town have chosen his book.
Last year, over 2000 people took part in the first Rothesay read.
