GET LOST IN THE MAGIC OF STORIES
MAY 2026
THE SECRET GARDEN
This May, we’re spending the month amongst the flowers as our community reads The Secret Garden and we welcome forty Society members on our Literary Gardens of England tours. We’ll be sharing detailed glimpses from the trip throughout the month so you can follow along with us!
JUNE 2026
THE SECRET BOOK OF FLORA LEA
This June, our reading selection is The Secret Book of Flora Lea, a moving novel about imagination, memory, and the stories that stay with us. During WWII, Hazel Linden creates a story about a world called Whisperwood to comfort her younger sister while they are evacuated to the English countryside. When Flora disappears, the story becomes a lasting thread between them. Twenty years later, Hazel discovers a rare book that contains the same story, setting her on a search for answers and for the sister she lost. Look forward to Zoom discussion with the author, Patti Callahan Henry!
Plus we’ll be welcoming two groups of Society members to Prince Edward Island, where we’ll immerse ourselves in the landscapes that inspired Anne Shirley’s imagination.
