  Upcoming Book of the Month Discussions:
  
  March 21st: 'Legend of a Suicide' by David Vann (Herb Robert)
  
  This is the author's (fictional?) reaction to his father's suicide when he was a child and entirely set in Alaska. Available in Penguin at £7.99.
  
  
  April 21st: ladyglencora to introduce a discussion.
  [LadyG, we need your choice and a brief line or two about it soon.]
  
  
  May 21st : ‘The Poisonwood Bible’ by Barbara Kingsolver (E. Yore)
  
  The Poisonwood Bible is a novel about the Price family, who in 1959 move from the southern US to the Belgian Congo. The Prices' story, which parallels the Belgian Congo's tumultuous emergence into the post-colonial era, is narrated by the five women of the family: Orleanna, long-suffering wife of Baptist missionary Nathan Price, and their four daughters – Rachel, Leah, Adah, and Ruth May.
  
  
  June 21st: 'The Old Man Who Read Love Stories' by Luis Sepulveda (Bette)
  
  The book is set in a remote river town in Ecuador. An elderly widower, Antonio, finds comfort in reading romance novels brought to him by the visiting dentist. But when a female jaguar begins carrying out a reign of terror in the area, Antonio's expertise in jungle ways is called upon to get rid of the problem. Written originally in Spanish, the book was dedicated to a man who fought and died to preserve the Amazon jungle, Chico Mendes.
  
  
  July 21st: "Rebecca's Tale" by Sally Beauman (Rwth of Cornovii)
  
  
  August 21st: 'The Mayor of Castro Street: the life and times of Harvey Milk' by Randy Shilts [(equoiaTree).
  
  "Known as 'the Mayor of Castro Street' even before he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Harvey Milk's personal life, public career, and final assasination reflect the dramatic emergence of the gay community as a political power in America. It is a story full of personal tragedies and political intrigues, assasinations at City Hall, massive riots in the streets, the miscarriage of justice, and the consolidation of gay power and gay hope."
  
  
  September 21st: ‘Caves of Steel’ by Isaac Asimov (ali-cat)
  
  
  21st October: 'Elidor' by Alan Garner (Rwth of Cornovii)
