Bella Vida is partnering with the SCV Library to bring you a dynamic and friendly reading group.  Each month the Bookworms will read a book provided by the SCV Library via eBook or paper edition.  The Bookworms will then meet to discuss the drama, intrigue, suspense, adventure and romance that unfolded in the chapters.

For December, the Bookworms will read  

The Exiles by Christina Baker Kline

The Exiles by Christina Baker Kline is a historical novel set-in 19th-century Australia, primarily following the lives of three women: Evangeline, a young Englishwoman wrongfully convicted of theft; Hazel, an Irish convict; and Mathinna, an Aboriginal girl taken from her family and placed in the care of a British governor. The story explores their struggles for survival and freedom as they endure harsh conditions in the Australian penal colony. The novel examines themes of injustice, resilience, and the bonds formed between women in the face of adversity, highlighting the complex history of colonialism and the treatment of both women and indigenous peoples.

The SCV Library has paper copies, eBooks, as well audio-books available.
