Book Club pick for November is Chosen Family by Madeleine Gray. It will be on Thursday the 27th of November from 5.30-6.30pm.

About the book:

Books about friendship are not often described as love stories, but this is one. Nell Argall and Eve Bowman are both brilliant, odd and friendless. Traumatised in their first year of high school, their lives are changed forever when they meet. Set in Sydney over eighteen years, Chosen Family follows Nell and Eve as they grow into themselves, as they both love and destroy each other. From school, to university , to careers, to motherhood. Together, Nell and Eve are a double helix. Love, guilt, shame, joy – these emotions twist and turn between them. Can we ever really understand what is going on in someone else’s head?
