For the enjoyment of friends, books and wine …
Bruno, an American, has come to Ireland to search for his roots. Addie, an out-of-work architect, is recovering from heartbreak while taking care of her infirm father. When their worlds collide, they experience a connection unlike any they’ve previously felt, but soon their newfound love will be tested in ways they never imagined possible.
A little poem from June
‘Read and White’ joins new ‘Well Red’
As it’s Christmas time
I’ve been asked to mark this night
With a little rhyme
Every month we read a book
(Well, most of us do)
Then we get together
To give it a review.
Christmas time is different
We have a slap-up meal
Lucky dip and crackers
To give a festive feel
This year will be double-fun
‘The Literati Night’
Let’s toast our Book Clubs – ‘Cheers’ we say
Enjoy each sip and bite!
it would be the journey of a lifetime . . .
‘Women can be heroes, too‘. When twenty-year-old nursing student, Frances “Frankie” McGrath, hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on California’s idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different path for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurses Corps and follows his path.
As green and inexperienced as the young men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed America. Frankie will also discover the true value of female friendship and the heartbreak that love can cause.
