Our May Between the Pages Book Club is an introduction to a fabulous series by Beth Brower: “The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion”. We will discuss the first two volumes on May 6, but I dare to say…you will want to read all 8 volumes that are currently available. The first volume is very short and simply sets up the wonderful world of Emma M. Lion. You have to push through to the second volume to experience the beauty of this series!
This collection is a charming, character-driven series set in late 19th century London. Told through the witty and observant journal entries of Emma, a thoughtful and independent young woman, the story explores friendship, faith, personal growth, and the quiet unfolding of purpose in everyday life.
In the first two volumes, readers are drawn into Emma’s close-knit circle of neighbors and friends, each with their own quirks, struggles, and spiritual journeys.
You are cordially invited to join us for a spot of tea as we delve into the wit and wisdom of Emma M. Lion. All are welcome! Please email [email protected] for more information and to RSVP. The registration link for Between the Pages Book Club is in our link in bio.
You will find the entire series in print and audiobook format at the PCBC Library. Emma’s journals make a great listen! If you’ve never ventured into the world of audiobooks, this would be the perfect introduction to this reading format. Email to request your Libby account credentials.
