The Scandal of the Season
Since I won't be at the Book Group meeting, I won't be able to tell you that I have visited the Blount home at Mapledurham. See history here:

Also if you want to look up The Rape of the Lock, here is a link to the complete poem. But a warning, it would be 55 pages to print out.

Capricornia by Alexis Wright.
Ros says that that the book is on long waiting lists through public libraries and sold out at lots of bookstores. I did manage to get a copy at Hornsby Borders. It was the only one in sight. I haven't started it yet (yes I know I should).
There is an article about Alexis Wright here, and a link to her PEN speech
