June meeting - August book
The June meeting went well at Stella's with a spirited discussion of Mateship with Birds by Carrie Tiffany, as some enjoyed the book more than others - too much information for some. But everyone found something to like in the descriptions of the animal world and evocation of a 50s country town.

July meeting is at my place, and Ros has contributed a review to listen to beforehand:

Radio National interview with Jesmyn Ward 'Salvage the Bones'.



August meeting is at Jane's at Woolstonecraft. The book is  Past the Shallows by Favel Parrett, a debut novelist who Sue W caught up with at the Writer's Festival.


A film outing is planned for Wednesday 11th July so if interested, call Sue W or Ros for where to meet, etc.
