June’s book pick
Everything you need to know about June’s book club pick📚
Hey friends,
Firstly, thank you to those of you that joined us for our first ever book club on Sunday - it was a joy to chat about Yellowface with you!
On Monday we took to our Instagram stories with a poll to decide on our read for June… 🥁 drumroll please 🥁
You went for The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell.
We’re so excited to get stuck into this. Here’s a bit about the book…
The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell
Winter, 1561. Lucrezia, Duchess of Ferrara, is taken on an unexpected visit to a country villa by her husband. As they sit down to dinner it occurs to Lucrezia that Alfonso has a sinister purpose in bringing her here. He intends to kill her!
The themes are power, survival, the Italian Renaissance, marriage and history
