Our last book club meeting was about the book “The Gown” by Jennifer Robson. It is a story about two women who form a friendship while working on Queen Elizabeth’s wedding gown in post WWII London. Through their eyes we see the hardships facing the British people during this period in history.
Our next book is “A Most English Princess” by Clare McHugh. It is the enthralling and riveting story of Victoria, the Princess Royal, from her younger years as the apple of her father Prince Albert’s eyes, to her rise to power atop the mighty German empire, to her final moments of life. Smart, pretty, and self-assured, she changed the course of the world.
Our next book club meeting will be on Sunday, May 18th, at 12:30 in the TBT library.
You are welcome to come to the book club even if you haven’t finished the book or read the book yet. You can still contribute to the conversation and have a good time.
Feel free to bring lunch or a snack.
