Join our Fiction Book Group online to discuss [A Manual for Cleaning Women](https://menlopark.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3630263), by Lucia Berlin.

*A Manual for Cleaning Women* compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin. With her trademark blend of humor and melancholy, Berlin crafts miracles from the everyday--uncovering moments of grace in the cafeterias and laundromats of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Northern California upper classes, and from the perspective of a cleaning woman alone in a hotel dining room in Mexico City. The women of Berlin's stories are lost, but they are also strong, clever, and extraordinarily real.

Menlo Park’s Fiction Book Group meets virtually on the second Tuesday of each month.
