Oprah has chosen The Invention of Wings as the next book to be featured in Oprah’s Book Club 2.0. OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, O, The Oprah Magazine and Oprah.com announced the selection of Sue Monk Kidd’s book about “two unforgettable women, the quest for freedom, and the desire to have a voice in the world.”
 
“The moment I finished The Invention of Wings, I knew this had to be the next Book Club selection,” said Oprah Winfrey. “These strong female characters represent the women that have shaped our history and, through Sue’s imaginative storytelling, give us a new perspective on slavery, injustice and the search for freedom.”
 
“I’m thrilled and honored that Oprah Winfrey chose my novel as her new book club selection,” responded Sue Monk Kidd. “After researching and writing The Invention of Wings for the past four years, I can’t tell you how exciting it is to launch the novel with Oprah’s Book Club 2.0. I’m immensely grateful.”
 
The Invention of Wings will be available in stores on January 7, 2014, and an interview Oprah conducted with the author will be included in the January issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.
