The Midlands branch of Women in Property will continue to hold our monthly book club over zoom for both members and non-members to attend.

This month's book pick is The Last House on the Street by Diane Chamberlain.

Secrets won't stay silent for ever.

2020. A recently widowed architect moves into the home she and her late husband designed, heartbroken that he will never cross the threshold. But when disturbing things begin to happen, it's clear that someone is sending her a warning. Who is trying to frighten her away, and why? It is only when she meets an elderly neighbour that she learns the street has a shocking and tragic past. A past that some will go to any lengths to keep hidden.1964. A young white female student becomes involved in the fight for civil rights in North Carolina, falling in love with one of her fellow activists, in a time and place where an interracial relationship must be hidden from family, friends and especially the reemerging Ku Klux Klan. As tensions rise in the town, she realises not everyone is who they appear to be.

Decades later, past and present are set to collide in the last house on the street...

During the meeting we have an informal chat about the previous month’s book, then review three book titles before voting for the next month’s reading choice. Everyone will then go away, order and read the new book then reconvene the next month to discuss how they enjoyed it.

All are welcome to join us to share the love of books! Feel free to bring a drink, snacks or just yourself to join us for some relaxing chit chat!
