Recipe for a Good Life and Nosy Parker by Lesley Crewe (2 books)  Irene Chambers and Carol Stratton will present.   Lesley is a Canadian writer who has settled in Cape Breton and is the writer of several novels.  Recipe for a Good Life is set in rural Nova Scotia during the 1950’s and follows Kitty,  a popular mystery writer, who is sent off from Montreal to Cape Breton to write.  She learns about the appeal of a simple and peaceful life and must work to balance this new life with her life in Montreal. Nosy Parker is set in 1967 Montreal and follows 10 year old Audrey Parker who has just moved into a new neighbourhood full of different kinds of people to spy on.    Humour and sadness are expertly balanced in this book.  We wonder if some of our teenage daughters or grandchildren may also enjoy reading this book and come along to discuss it!
