Oprah Winfrey Picks ‘Invention of Wings’ for Her Book Club

Oprah Winfrey has added a third selection to her revived book club, choosing “The Invention of Wings” by Sue Monk Kidd, Ms. Winfrey said on Tuesday.

Ms. Winfrey thrilled publishers in June 2012 when she said that she would start a new version of her famed book club that, in the heyday of her network television show, was known for creating huge best sellers. The new club, known as Oprah’s Book Club 2.0, has already selected “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed and “Twelve Tribes of Hattie” by Ayana Mathis.

“The Invention of Wings,” a historical novel set in 19th-century Charleston, S.C., will be released in January by Viking, part of Penguin Random House. Ms. Kidd also wrote the best seller “The Secret Life of Bees.”

In a video announcing her pick, Ms. Winfrey called “The Invention of Wings” “layered” and “gripping.”
