Our Bookshelves

We don’t review books, we share gems that we have found. Originally, we reviewed books based on their discussion potential, but now it’s more about the inspiration they spark, and the connections they can make. Have a book that you’d like to share and pass along? Tell us why you picked up the book, why you kept reading and who you’d pass it to next.

Why I picked it up? After watching the Britbox series “Outrageous,” I was curious to know more about a family both famous and infamous as authors, fascists and English nobility. Much has been written about the six sisters, but this book focuses on their mother.

Who would I pass it on to? I’ve recommended it to many people trying to understand our current political climate. But specifically, I would send it to my friend Jean who longs for civil discourse and cares very much.
