The Bordeaux Book Club is seeking new members!\u003cp\u003eWhen Leah and her husband moved to France, it was with the dream of becoming self-sufficient. But in truth, it’s not the ‘good life’ she’d imagined, as three hours of digging barely yield a single straggly carrot. Worse, her teenage daughter is acting up, and her husband seems to find every strange excuse under the hot French sun to disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo when her friend entreats her to join the new bookclub she’s forming, Leah decides it’s something she will do for herself.
