June bookclub

Good evening Bronte sisters! This month's book is "Dreams of Speaking" by Gail Jones. I chose it because it has a Japanese guy in it called Mr Sakamoto. He meets a girl called Alice, who gets off on the aesthetics of technology. Apparently they are both geographically displaced. Settings include Perth and Paris and Tokyo. I am thinking of doing dinner on Friday 27th June or the following weekend on the 4th of July. Any preferences? JASE

Cheers, Alex
