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.

The June meeting will be held at Leigh's house. 11 rue des Cantonnades in Junas, just behind la mairie. There is a parking lot there, but if it's full, you will find parking on the streets nearby. The house is an old barn that's been renovated and there's a temporary, very ugly fence around the patio where we'll be sitting. See you there! The book is GONE GIRL by Gillian Flynn.
