Parallel Lies by Stella Duffy will be the topic of at our next Lesbian group meeting on Tues. April 19 @ 6:30.  In this novel, the fear of scandal threatens Hollywood's top leading lady when celebrity and sexuality collide in image obsessed Tinsel Town.

Gertrude Bell was at one time the most powerful woman in the British Empire and was the driving force behind the creation of modern-day Iraq. This work is a richly compelling portrait of a woman who transcended the restrictions of her class and times and created a remarkable and enduring legacy.
