Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth

**Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth...**Meet Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick: eighty-one years old, gloriously grumpy, fiercely independent, and never without a hot cup of tea—or a cutting remark. She minds her own business in her quiet Melbourne suburb, until a neighbor turns up dead and the whispers start flying. Because Elsie hasn’t always been Elsie. Once upon a headline, she was Mad Mabel Waller—Australia’s youngest convicted murderer. But was she really mad, or just misunderstood? Either way, she’s kept her secret buried for decades. Enter seven-year-old Persephone, a relentless little chatterbox who has just moved in across the road (armed with stickers, questions, and no sense of personal boundaries); Joan, who appears to have it in for Elsie; and a healthy dose of public interest—the cops are sniffing around, and the media is circling like seagulls at a picnic.

Meet the Group at Navah Coffee House. Tables pulled together comfortably seat 8 but can squeeze in a couple more and make it 12! If we know in advance there will only be 6 there's a quieter couch area!

Keep your RSVP accurate so those who want to join are able. A No Show will be noted by your name for last minute cancellations (less than 24 hours).

See you there!
