My first choice today is The Inaugural Meeting of the Fairvale Ladies Book Club – isn’t that a fabulous title? I thought that I would enjoy this one since it featured a book club and I was right. Sophie Green explores the lives of the five members of the Book Club who live in a remote part of Australia in the 1970s. I loved reading about the different lives of all the women who felt like friends by the time I finished the book. Sophie Green writes beautifully about the challenges they face, the joys they experience and the support they give each other through their friendship.

![The Trick to Time by [Waal, Kit de]](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51sjnzBu6yL._SY346_.jpg)
The Trick to Time is a beautifully written story about a young Irish girl who moves to Britain in the 1970s. After a tragedy tears her family apart, we meet Mona again in her 60s and learn about the significant events in her life. It is full of wonderful, memorable characters and is a beautifully written poignant novel about love, loss and hope. Read my review here: The Trick to Time

I hadn’t heard of either of these. Both sound good. I’m particularly drawn to the Kit de Wall one.
