Book Club: Molly by Rosalie Ham

Let’s meet for brunch at Linda's Cafe at Bulimba for a light-hearted, casual chat about our book - and any other great books.

Molly by Rosalie Ham:

Molly is a prequel to Ham's bestselling debut novel The Dressmaker (2000). It introduces new readers to Ham's works and entices original fans back.

It's 1914 and the world is on the brink of transformation. There are rumbles of war in distant lands and Melbourne's streets are full of women fighting for the right to vote, to equal pay, to live full and satisfying lives.

Molly Dunnage is a modern woman and she wants to see change, at home, at work and in underwear. Her burgeoning corsetry business is starting to take off, thanks to some high-profile supporters. She's marching with the suffragists for better conditions for women everywhere. And her family - her eccentric, confounding, adored father and aunt - are turning their minds to country retirement.

But as the clouds of war gather and an ominous figure starts skulking in the shadows of her life, Molly's dreams start to falter. Then, when true love drops out of the sky and into her arms, her hopes for her life and the world are entirely upended.

The book is available from Big W, Kmart and Target ($18). Most of the online book sellers also list this novel.

Let's meet at Lindy's Cafe, 136 Oxford Street, Bulimba.
There is some street parking available - and please don't park in the pub carpark. They're very strict about non-patrons parking there.

There's also a huge car park off Pine Street (behind the cinema/rooftop) that always has plenty of parking.

$2.50 gets you a spot at the table and goes towards our end of year activities.

We've limited this to 8 people. It makes it easy for us all to be able to chat and hear each other.
