From Goodreads: The beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the century, Betty Smith's 1943 novel is a poignant and moving tale filled with compassion and cruelty, laughter and heartache, crowded with life and people and incident.
Wellington City Libraries have several copies as well as an ebook you can borrow.
VENUE
We meet in the ‘Games Room’, The Library's private area overlooking Courtenay Place. After you enter the bar, head to your right (up the step) and through a smaller space with booths to the large carpeted space beyond.
