Calling All Booklovers!
‘Books at the Bowlo’ is a place for bookish friends and book clubs to meet and mingle, catch up on their monthly reading over a meal, as well as meet local writers. This event will be hosted at Club Lambton on the second Tuesday of the month from 6 pm, with an in-conversation and Q&A with a local author to follow at 7 pm.
What to expect:
6 pm – 7 pm: Host your regular book club or simply catch up with friends over a meal while chatting about your latest read.
7 pm – 8.30 pm: A conversation and Q&A with local authors. We talk about their books, inspirations and literary journey. Hosted by Nina Cullen and Katherine McLean.
May's book: 'The View from the Balcony' by Janette Paul
A heartwarming and evocative novel of love, friendship and family, where hope overcomes all – even terrible hospital coffee.
Coral is an expert at getting things done. The final item on her professional to-do list is to cap off her stellar career delivering a paper at a conference in New York. Except a week before her flight, her elderly mum has a serious fall.
Andie has no memory of the man who pushed her out of the way of a speeding car. But when her mysterious saviour awakens from his coma, Andie realises that her offers of help in return may pave the way toward sorting out her own life too.
The last thing Mara wants is to be assigned to work at the bedside of the much-despised senior partner of her law firm while she recovers from an accident. Mara has sacrificed a lot to care for people she actually loves and she resents having to do it again for this embittered old woman.
Coral, Andie and Mara become the daily visitors to the three patients at the end of East Wing at Hepburn House Rehabilitation Hospital. The balcony that connects the three rooms provides an oasis, a healing place, but more than that, too: a place where their lives will interconnect and never be quite the same again…

Entry is free. Lucky door prizes with every meal purchase.
Book ahead to secure your table! Call Club Lambton on 02 4957 3272 or book on our webpage. Walk-ins also welcome.
Copies of the monthly featured book can be ordered via Betty Loves Books! This book will be available for collection at the event, as well as prior to the event. (Preorder via our website and receive a 10% discount).
