Join us to read and discuss books in a small group setting. We meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month via Zoom. We check in at 10:45 AM, then start the discussion at 11:00 AM, which lasts for about an hour. We select the books as a group several months in advance, choosing from all genres. The discussion is always stimulating, lively and respectful.

About A Memory of Violets
by Hazel Gaynor
In 1912, twenty-year-old Tilly Harper leaves the peace and beauty of her native Lake District for London, to become assistant housemother at Mr. Shaw’s Home for Watercress and Flower Girls. For years, the home has cared for London’s flower girls—orphaned and crippled children living on the grimy streets and selling posies of violets and watercress to survive. Soon after she arrives, Tilly discovers a diary written by an orphan named Florrie—a young Irish flower girl who died of a broken heart after she and her sister, Rosie, were separated. Moved by Florrie’s pain and all she endured in her brief life, Tilly sets out to discover what happened to Rosie. But the search will not be easy. Full of twists and surprises, it leads the caring and determined young woman into unexpected places, including the depths of her own heart.
