June Book Club - Monthly Get Together

Our book for June is:

The Giver of Stars
by Jojo Moyes

The Giver of Stars is a 2019 historical fiction novel by Jojo Moyes chosen by June. The book is about packhorse librarians in a remote area of Kentucky. Set in Depression-era America, The Giver of Stars is the story of five extraordinary women and their journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond. The women deliver library books to people in the mountains of Kentucky during the Great Depression, a real-life program launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.

A big welcome to all!

The Phoenix Monthly Book Club is for everyone to enjoy - seasoned 'book clubbers' and those new to the idea - all will be made very welcome.

Come and join our relaxed, friendly group!

Our aim is to choose some really good reads and have lively times together discussing the chosen book of the month in a respectful manner.

The reading list will be compiled from members' suggestions and will reflect our differing tastes. It will be great to challenge ourselves with genres or writing styles we may not usually think to go for - we won't all like every book, but it will be fun to discover!

You'll be responsible for sourcing your own copy of the monthly book - borrow from the library, buy second hand, download or Kindle etc - whatever works best for you.
