12th June 2024: "Paper Palace" by Miranda Cowley Heller

Hello! For June we will be reading the popular, "The Paper Palace" by Miranda Cowley Heller.
We are an informal and friendly group that meets in Goodfellowship. We usually talk for 45-50 minutes on the book and then members come and go, with many staying to chat and have a drink. Members pay £2 to help pay for the room.

Blurb for what promises to be an exciting read:
A PAGE-TURNING SUMMERTIME READ FOR FANS OF WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING AND LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE

On a perfect August morning, Elle Bishop heads out for a swim in the pond below 'The Paper Palace' - her family's holiday home in Cape Cod. As she dives beneath the water she relives the passionate encounter she had the night before, against the side of the house that knows all her darkest secrets, while her husband and mother chatted to their guests inside...

So begins a story that unfolds over twenty-four hours and fifty years, as Elle's shocking betrayal leads her to a life-changing decision - and an ending you won't be able to stop thinking about.
