SUMMARY:Uzès Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Uzès Book Club\nTuesday 20 January\, 3:00pm\nAt a Member’s home the third Tuesday of the Month\n\nJanuary finds us reading ‘King Maker’ by Sonia Purnell. \nWhen Pamela Churchill Harriman died in 1997\, the obituaries that followed were predictably scathing – and many were downright sexist. Written off as a mere courtesan and social climber\, her true legacy was overshadowed by a glamorous social life and her infamous erotic adventures. Much of what she did behind the scenes – on both sides of the Atlantic – remained invisible and secret. That is\, until now: with a wealth of fresh research\, interviews and newly discovered sources\, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full\, spectacular story of how she left an indelible mark on the world today. We will also be unveiling the results of the voting for our 2026 reading list. \nPlease contact us if you are interested in being added to waiting list or receiving our book choices. \n\nChristine Frati                                  Angela Denton-Thompson

SUMMARY:Nîmes Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Nîmes Book Club  \nFriday 30 Janauary\, 10:30am\nLa Vida Restaurant\, 1530 Chemin du Carreau de Lanes\, 30900 Nîmes\n\nOur book this month is “The Way we Live Now” by Trollope. \nThe Way We Live Now is a satirical and political novel\, published in London in 1875. It is one of the last significant Victorian novels to have been published in monthly parts. It was inspired by the financial scandals of the early1880’s. Trollope had just returned to England from abroad and was appalled by the greed and dishonesty those scandals exposed. This novel was his rebuke. It dramatized how such greed and dishonesty pervaded the commercial\, political\, moral\, and intellectual life of that era. \nFor practical reasons attendance is limited to 14. \nIf you wish to attend e-mail me by January 23.
