Book Group

This month’s book is ‘The Widows of Malabar Hill’ a Mystery of 1920s India. Inspired in part by the woman who made history as India’s first female attorney.  This is a richly wrought story of multicultural, 1920s Bombay, as well as the debut of a sharp and promising new sleuth.
We meet on the 2nd Monday of the month.  April is the start of a new year’s subscription to the Book Discussion Scheme.  We are a great group with lots of discussion about the books and would welcome one more member if interested. Ros 

History Group

We have had our first meeting to discuss the Introduction to China in Translation.  This course is about China’s slow but relentless transition from sleep at the end of thousands of years of dynastic rule in the early 1900s into one of the most powerful economic, and military, players in world affairs today.   Promises to be a very interesting course.  Currently 14 members so a very tight squeeze in my home.
