For the month of March, our book club will be reading The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon, a book chosen by Diana. I had been eyeing it on Amazon and had debated reading it, and then Diana made the choice for me. Ta dah!
The book involves a woman with an intellectual disability and a deaf man, put away in an institution in the 1960s. They escape, have a love child, hand her off before the authorities catch them, and the rest of the book apparently unfolds with a 40-year saga to the present day.
The book was just released in paperback, which subsequently lowered the Kindle and Nook prices, so the timing is excellent. We’ll read it for March, and discussion starts April 1. Happy reading!
