Book Club - April 20th

Are you ready for a psychological thriller? The Riverton Area Book Club is reading None of This is True, by Lisa Jewell, for their Saturday, April 20, meeting. This suspenseful novel is about Alix, an attractive podcast personality, meeting Josie on the birthday they share, becoming "birthday twins." Josie goes on to interject Alix into her life by suggesting a podcast story be done about her, Josie, who is not happy with her husband and daughters. From there the reader becomes less and less sure about who is telling the truth about what is happening. Jewell, a British author, published this book in 2023.
​
Books for May and June have been chosen:

May: Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman, by Richard Feynman, a Nobel Prize winning physicist, published in 1985.

In this memoir Feynman recounts lighthearted anecdotes of his personal experiences.

June: The Violin Conspiracy, by Brendan Slocumb. This "musical thriller," published in 2022, is about a Black classical musician intent on finding his great great grandfather's violin which has disappeared.
