this month we're reading The Emporium of Imagination by Tabitha Bird.
Liked it? Loved it? Didn't finish it? Come anyway!
The FALS Book Club is a no-shame book club, so grab a drink*, order something from the menu* and share your thoughts with fellow Australian literature lovers.
Please RSVP "going" by Wednesday 27th September so we can book a table.
From the publisher:
Welcome to The Emporium of Imagination, a most unusual shop that travels the world offering vintage gifts to repair broken dreams and extraordinary phones to contact lost loved ones.
But, on arrival in the tiny township of Boonah, the store’s long-time custodian, Earlatidge Hubert Umbray, makes a shocking realisation. He is dying . . .
The clock is now ticking to find his replacement, because the people of Boonah are clearly in need of some restorative magic.
Like Enoch Rayne – a heartbroken ten-year-old boy mourning the loss of his father, while nurturing a guilty secret.
Like Ann Harlow, who has come to the town to be close to her dying grandmother. Though it’s Enoch’s father who dominates her thoughts - and regrets . . .
Even Earlatidge in his final days will experience the store as never before - and have the chance to face up to his own tragedy . . .
