The Winsmead Readers meet on the 4th Friday of the month at the Constitution Hills branch of Parramatta Library at 10am. We have a new book each month supplied by the library. The library in Parramatta gives us a list of the books available with a short description of each one. From this list we choose the books we would like to read. We do not always get the books we have selected. Our latest book is “Prima Facie”, by Susie Miller. It is quite a disturbing book but on a subject which is important. The book is based on an internationally acclaimed play. It demonstrates the injustices and social disadvantages of some sections of our society today. It is set in England but is applicable in many places including Australia. It draws you in and you find it difficult to put down but maybe it is not for everyone as it can be upsetting. I have heard recently that it will soon be a movie.
Our next meeting is on Friday 28 August. We are limited to ten members and now have nine so we can have one more. For more information, please contact Aline on 0409 340 059.
