SUMMARY:Afternoon Book Group: The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us the third Tuesday of every month for an in-depth 
 discussion of quality best-selling fiction and nonfiction books including 
 biographies.\n\n \n\n\n\nThis month's book pick is The Hazelbourne Ladies 
 Motorcycle and Flying Club by Helen Simonson.\n\n\n\nBook Description: 
 "Constance Haverhill is without prospects. Her mother has just passed 
 away\, her brother is newly married\, and now that the Great War is over\, 
 she has been asked to give up managing the estate she helped to run when 
 the men all joined the army. It is suggested to her that she become a 
 governess. But first\, she will act as caretaker to Mrs. Fog\, an old 
 family friend who is convalescing at a seaside resort. Constance is soon 
 swept up in the social whirl of the Meredith Hotel and its colorful 
 inhabitants\, most notably\, Poppy Wirrall. Poppy wears trousers\, operates 
 a taxi and delivery service to employ local women\, and manages a ladies' 
 motorcycle club. She and her friends welcome Constance into their circle\, 
 despite the differences in their stations-Poppy is\, for all her empowered 
 modernity\, the daughter of a land-owning gentleman\, while Constance has 
 only weeks before she must find a position and a home. Constance soon 
 learns\, however\, that not everything is as it seems in this pocket of 
 English high society. As her connection to this new group deepens and she 
 makes a powerful impression on Poppy's recalcitrant but handsome brother-a 
 former fighter pilot who recently lost a leg in battle-old secrets come to 
 light. Soon\, the women are forced to confront the fact that the freedoms 
 they gained during the war are likely to be revoked as the country settles 
 into a hard-won peace."-- Provided by publisher.\n\n\n \n\n \n\nCopies of
