SUMMARY:Tales Retold Book Club
DESCRIPTION:We will be meeting on the first Tuesday of every month\, to read and discuss original works and spin-offs or retellings based on them. \nOur March pick is a Mansfield Park Retelling. \nThis Motherless Land by Nikki May. \nSummary: \nQuiet Funke is happy in Nigeria. She loves her art teacher mother\, her professor father\, and even her annoying little brother (most of the time). But when tragedy strikes\, she’s sent to England\, a place she knows only from her mother’s stories. To her dismay\, she finds the much-lauded estate dilapidated\, the food tasteless\, the weather grey. Worse still\, her mother’s family are cold and distant. With one exception: her cousin Liv. \nFree-spirited Liv has always wanted to break free of her joyless family. She becomes fiercely protective of her little cousin\, and her warmth and kindness give Funke a place to heal. The two girls grow into adulthood the closest of friends. \nBut the choices their mothers made haunt Funke and Liv and when a second tragedy occurs their friendship is torn apart. Against the long shadow of their shared family history\, each woman will struggle to chart a path forward\, separated by country\, misunderstanding\, and ambition.
