Hi ladies, The votes are in! Thank you all for taking the time to read the blurbs and cast your vote. We have our selections for May and June: May 22nd (location TBD) Title: Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson. Literary Fiction. Pub date: 1996. Blurb: Ruby Lennox was conceived grudgingly by Bunty and born while her father, George, was in the Dog and Hare in Doncaster telling a woman in an emerald dress and a D-cup that he wasn't married. Bunty had never wanted to marry George, but here she was, stuck in a flat above the pet shop in an ancient street beneath York Minster, with sensible and sardonic Patrica aged five, greedy cross-patch Gillian who refused to be ignored, and Ruby...  Ruby tells the story of The Family, from the day at the end of the nineteenth century when a travelling French photographer catches frail beautiful Alice and her children, like flowers in amber, to the startling, witty, and memorable events of Ruby's own life. Amazon: www.amazon.
Please vote for our May book selection! (and maybe we'll take #2 and 3 for the following months). Thank you all for your patience as I learn the ropes of organizing our book club :) --Noel https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ejaxdfnYu04ENBThKBzD6g5WFbAeTgvlGhp_s8f_ffk/edit?ts=56fe9d71#
