Tuesday 07 July 2011 Thanks to all who attended this afternoon's book group where we discussed Lesley Pearce - Remember Me. Apologies for the late posting. A book that some members had read previously and generated a lot to talk about. In 1786 a fisherman's daughter from Cornwall called Mary Broad was sentenced to be hung for theft. But her sentence was commuted, and she was transported to Australia, one of the first convicts to arrive there. Amazingly based on a true story, it was said by some members that they sometimes forgot that fact as some of the things that happened where rather far fetched in their minds. A score of 3/5 was given for this month's read. I hope all have a great July and look forward to seeing you on the 2nd August where we will be discussing Joanne Harris - The Lollipop Shoes.
