Wed, February 17, 2 PM: Book group on zoom
Rosemary Manchester will lead a discussion of The Fountain Overflows by Rebecca West. "A real Dickensian Christmas pudding of a book-full of incident, full of family delights, full of parties and partings, strange bits of London, the lobby of the House of Commons, a classic murder with portraits of the murderer, the murderee and a couple of innocent bystanders, bill collectors, kitchen fires, good food, and a considerable quota of ghosts. West’s is a world that is a delight to enter and to live in, warm and vital, and constantly entertaining." —Elizabeth Janeway, The New York Times Book Review

wed, march 17, 2 pm: book group zoom, lissa evans novel
Lissa Evans is a much admired writer of both children's and adult books in the UK. We will be discussing her suffragette novel, Old Baggage. Once a practicing doctor, Evans later joined BBC to win a BAFTA for "Father Ted." Old Baggage rose to the top of the London Times list and was shortlisted for a comedy novel prize. She is known for her seamless folding of history into her stories, and her rich characters.
‘Moving, funny and the most satisfying of reads, Old Baggage is a delight from start to finish.’ The Independent
‘This beautifully written story teems with atmosphere and perfect period detail but it’s the brave and brilliant Mattie that makes it unforgettable’ Sunday Mirror
All are welcome to join the Reading Group. RSVP form to appear in February.
