The Winsmead Book Club meets on the 4th Friday of the month at the Constitution Hill branch of Parramatta City Library. The library organises the books for us following our recommendations. The book we had in June was “The French Braid”, by Anne Tyler. It was a very easy read but our members only gave it 2 points out of 10. It was not really a story but a record of a family and their lives over several generations.
Our current book is completely different. It is Tim Winton’s latest book, “Juice”. It is a huge book (513 pages) which will be quite a difficult read, I think, but I hope it is interesting. I have only read a little of it but I already have 5 words that I am not sure of their meaning. Tim Winton definitely has a way with words. He tells a great story.
Our next book club meeting will be August 28 at the usual place and time. For more information, please contact Aline on 0409 340 059.
