Hi Kate, I’m hosting book club this week to discuss My Notorious Life. What lunch menu suits your book? P.S. thought of Irish Stew cooked in GUINESS but the weather will be hot and sunny in Calgary Alberta. Love to hear your suggestion!!!!! The girls will be impressed.

Elaine! It's an honor to hear that you and your book group are reading My Notorious Life! It's does seem to provoke lively discussions. But how cool and creative of you that you are making a special menu. Off the top my head, you could make Boxty in the pan (lotsa recipes online) or Irish soda bread. Axie and Charlie shared a bag of cherries! always good for summer. Oysters? they were so plentiful in NYC of those days, as was Corn on the cob sold from street carts. No one ate much in the way of fresh vegetables. So, that's all I got. I'm always happy to zoom with a book group, so let me know.. thanks for the query! Best, Kate

Hi Kate, We have a book group that has been going strong for 20+ years. I am so fortunate as I will be leading the book discussion on your book My Notorious Life next week. Do you see Axie as a hero? The risks she took...despite the looming consequences. Appreciate your input-I am guessing we are going to have a lively discussion next week :)
