What better pairing for a great book than a glass of wine? A glass of wine with friends of course!
Come and join us each month to chat through great books, connect with others and enjoy a little wine on the side!
We’ll be meeting up on the last Thursday of each month to discuss the book of the month over a glass of wine! You can do this as a group of friends reading together or use it as an opportunity to meet some new friends—you know you’ve got at least a love of City Scape in common!
For the May Book Club we will be reading The Nightingale, by Kristin Hannah.
France, 1939 – In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn’t believe that the Nazis will invade France … but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne’s home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.
Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can … completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.
With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women’s war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France―a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.
You can purchase your own copy of the book in paperback or as an audiobook to listen! We also have an option for us to ship the book directly to you when you sign up!
This will be a perfect place for you to connect with others who love wine and books!
