Join us for our book club, Page Peepers, via Zoom. Our host is Patty Cheek. Gatherings are the fourth Wednesday of every other month at 7:00 pm.
Our book this month is How the Penguins Saved Veronica by Hazel Prior. It was published by Penguin [of course] Random House in 2020. The description via the publisher: Eighty-five-year-old Veronica McCreedy is estranged from her family and wants to find a worthwhile cause to leave her fortune to. When she sees a documentary about penguins being studied in Antarctica, she tells the scientists she’s coming to visit—and won’t take no for an answer. Shortly after arriving, she convinces the reluctant team to rescue an orphaned baby penguin. He becomes part of life at the base, and Veronica’s closed heart starts to open.
Hazel Prior is a harpist based in Exmoor, England. Originally from Oxford, she fell in love with the harp as a student and now performs regularly. She’s had short stories published in literary magazines and has won numerous writing competitions in the UK.
