*For some reason, this seems to be tricky to search for online and Amazon keeps on suggesting the wrong book. Here is a link to the correct book for your information.
**We will focus mostly on The Choc-Ice Woman as this is freely available on line.

Looks like a great reading list! Do you have the dates for the book club yet?
Hi Andrea, we haven’t set the date yet but it is likely to be a Saturday afternoon one towards the end of September. I will post an update as soon as it is definite. Hope you can join us!
Thank you for posting the list!
As for “My life with Picasso” I think Amazon is having problemwith books in general because it did the same with me with other titles, in any case it seems to be available:
