June Bookclub Update

Our May meeting was especially good since we haven't seen each other for a while. Due to a cooler temperature we ended up meeting in the Relief Society room at the church and of course sat in a wide circle social distancing and enjoyed a good discussion with some good laughs at this crazy covid season.

We decided to try the afternoon time again in June and will be meeting in Jill's beautiful garden yard on Wednesday, June 17 at 2:30 in the afternoon. Bring a lawn chair and we'll enjoy Jill's creation.

Jill has chosen "The War I Finally Won" by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley.  This is the sequel to "The War that Saved My Life" that we read in April.

From Amazon:
When Ada’s clubfoot is surgically fixed at last, she knows for certain that she’s not what her mother said she was—damaged, deranged, crippled mentally as well as physically. She’s not a daughter anymore, either. Who is she now?
 
World War II rages on, and Ada and her brother, Jamie, move with their guardian, Susan, into a cottage with the iron-faced Lady Thorton and her daughter, Maggie. Life in the crowded home is tense. Then Ruth moves in. Ruth, a Jewish girl, from Germany. A German? Could Ruth be a spy?

As the fallout from war intensifies, calamity creeps closer, and life during wartime grows even more complicated. Who will Ada decide to be? How can she keep fighting? And who will she struggle to save?
