Fiction Book Club: A Pair of Aces
Bookish Notions · Media, PA
Bookish Notions' fiction book club gathers on October 27 to discuss A Pair of Aces, the Reese's Book Club historical novel about prosecutor Eunice Carter and madam Polly Adler joining forces to take down Lucky Luciano in 1930s New York.
Expect an intimate, conversational evening with a small group of local readers — the flyer's warm shout-out to attendees of the previous month's discussion suggests a friendly, ongoing circle that likely welcomes newcomers. Talk will center on the novel's big themes: the unlikely alliance between two women on opposite sides of the law, ambition and gender roles in 1930s New York, and the sensational Luciano trial at the story's core. It's an informal in-store gathering rather than a ticketed or author-attended event, so come having read the book and ready to share opinions.
