The next book group meeting is 20th October, the book is Clock Dance. Here is a brief synopsis.
Willa Drake can
count on one hand the defining moments of her life: when she was eleven and her
mother disappeared, being proposed to at twenty-one, the accident that would
make her a widow at forty-one. At each of these moments, Willa ended up on a
path laid out for her by others.
So when she receives a phone call telling her
that her son’s ex-girlfriend has been shot and needs her help, she drops
everything and flies across the country. The spur-of-the moment decision to
look after this woman – and her nine-year-old daughter, and her dog – will lead
Willa into uncharted territory. Surrounded by new and surprising neighbours,
she is plunged into the rituals that make a community, and takes pleasure in
the most unexpected things.
A bittersweet novel of hope and regret,
fulfilment and renewal, Clock Dance brings us the everyday
life of a woman who decides it’s never too late to change direction, and choose
your own path.
The book group meets in the Tamberlin room from 3:30pm.
