Discovering other Blogs

It appears that the Gloucestershire Lit Lovers are a bit behind the times. Anyone who is anyone appears to have a blog these days.

Especially for Susie, there is this one

I could go on all day, as there eleven of us, but I think you get the point. I also have a book to read and puddings to research for the next meeting on 23rd January 2013. Oh, and did I mention I have to work for a living?

This month we are reading Jubilee by Shelley Harris.

It's 1977, the day of the Queen's Silver Jubilee, when a photographer captures a moment forever: a festive street party with bunting and Union Jacks fluttering in the breeze and, right in the centre of the frame, a small Asian boy staring intensely at the camera. The photo becomes infamous when it is adopted as a symbol of everything that is great and good about Britain, but what is the real story behind it? Relationships between the neighbours on Cherry Gardens are far from easy, and minor frictions threaten to erupt as the street party begins...

Fast forward to the present and that boy, Satish, is now a successful paediatric heart surgeon, saving lives and families every single day. But he's living with a secret - he's addicted to controlled prescription drugs. A message about a proposed reunion of the children in the photograph throws his life into turmoil as he thinks back to Jubilee Day, and the events that changed his life for ever.
