“We invited Bobbie to our Book Club and looked forward excitedly to meeting the real-life author of our current Book Club choice, Being Lena Levi. Bobbie turned out to be a lovely lady who has led such an interesting and diverse life. She was able to add her own perspective on the story of Lena and our discussion was so enriched by her presence. We scored the book later with our highest mark!”
