The April Book Choice

The Walk Cafe book club took a vote from the short list of books to read in April and decided their choice was Pagan and her Parents by Michael Arditti.

Candida Mulliner and Leo Young have been the closest of friends since university, living together but loving separately. When Candida dies after a long illness, she leaves her five year old daughter, Pagan, in Leo’s care.
Candida’s adoptive parents are horrified; they refuse to accept that a single man is a suitable person to bring up a child and challenge Leo’s guardianship in the courts. The ensuing hearings are complicated by tabloid exposure of Leo’s homosexuality, which threatens not only his position with Pagan but also his job as a television chat-show host.

The next book club is meeting one week earlier on April 21st at 6.30pm for 7pm
