Hi Everyone! It is already time for another vote for the next read. For the first time in Book Club history, they were all recommended by book club members. This month we will be choosing from completely different time periods and countries – Russia, Britain and Greece 1) Journey into the Mind’s eye by Lesley Blanch Lesley Blanch was four when the mysterious Traveller first blew into her nursery, swathed in Siberian furs and full of the fairytales of Russia. She was twenty when he swept out of her life, leaving her love-lorn and in the grips of a passionate obsession. The search to recapture the love of her life, and the Russia he had planted within her, takes her to Siberia and beyond, journeying deep into the romantic terrain of the mind’s eye. Part travel book, part love story, Lesley Blanch’s Journey into the Mind’s Eye is pure intoxication. 2) The Last of the Wine by Mary Renault The Last of the Wines is a story of Alexias, a young Athenian from a good family who gets drawn in to the controversial teachings of Socrates and participates in the Olympic Games – all set against the background of famine, siege and civil conflict. 3)The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory Two sisters competing for the greatest prize: the love of a king. When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled by the king, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a pawn in her family's ambitious plots as the king's interest begins to wane and she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her family and her king, and take her fate into her own hands. A rich and compelling tale of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue, The Other Boleyn Girl introduces a woman of extraordinary determination and desire who lived at the heart of the most exciting and glamorous court in Europe and survived by following her own heart. |
