⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really enjoyed this from the author of ' the Help".

' This calamity club is born out of the perfect storm. It consists of women who are brought together by circumstance. In this case the times - it's 1933 and the shock waves of the depression are still reverberating. Many are poor and have not recovered; families that are broken. Children being dropped off at an orphanage because they can't care for them and one particular orphanage is run by a lunatic.' Goodreads review

At last 'The East Wind' the fourth in the series - in processing.

Did you know that once books are ordered, received, catalogued, and labelled, we ( the volunteers) reinforce, cover, stamp and create the cards etc.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

In our June order - written by a New Zealander - a great read - I enjoyed being able to picture the locations - Nashville, a composite of the old railway towns in the King Country.
Stand alone, but does contain references back the "When the Deep Dark Bush Swallows You Whole".

This is your local library - not council run - we would love more people enjoying our great collection - $15 per year.
