Our November book club column also highlights a debut novel and the latest from Malcolm Gladwell—but the top paperback release this month, according to columnist Julie Hale, is “a fascinating exploration of gender, history and female friendship”—Tracy Chevalier’s Remarkable Creatures.
Reviewer Jessica Inman said, in her review of the hardcover edition, “There’s humor, romance and a down-to-earth kind of suspense. But most of all, there are the believable and well-crafted personal triumphs and tragedies of two women who defied convention and changed their corner of the world.”
Historical fiction has often been of interest to my book club, since the contrast between past and present mores adds another topic to be discussed. Does your book club read historical fiction? What are you reading with your book club this month?
Bought it last month and can’t wait to read this latest book — might jump to the top of the pile!
We are reading Loving Frank by Nancy Horan — I love it so far!
Just wanted to say I have read this book and it is one
of my favorites. I love Historial Ficton and especially this book.
