During the last two months, P’s Book Club has been taking Dunedin by storm. As the cold weather still has us in its grips, what better way to spend a winter’s day than by being curled up in the warm with a good book.

This month’s read is The Girl with the Suitcase by Lesley Pearce.

Set in London, 1941, Mary meets a glamorous stranger named Elizabeth and she realises their lives couldn't be more different. Elizabeth is beautiful and charming, about to set off on a dazzling adventure to Ireland, where she's inherited a grand house. Mary, shy and meek, has nothing to look forward to but the dreary life of a maid in Hampstead. But when an air raid forces them to take shelter underground Mary's life is suddenly changed forever. After waking up in hospital, injured but alive, the nurse mistakes her for Elizabeth and hands over her suitcase with Elizabeth's money and tickets to Ireland inside. This is Mary's chance to escape the hardship of her life and start afresh. Will she take it, and what could go wrong?
