I have started The Card: A Story of Adventure in the Five Towns by Arnold Bennett, which is my next book club selection. I think that this will be a change of pace! Here’s the blurb:
The Card is a short comedic novel written by Arnold Bennett in 1911. It was later made into a 1952 movie starring Alec Guinness and Petula Clark. It chronicles the rise of Edward Henry ("Denry") Machin from washerwoman’s son to Mayor of Bursley (a fictitious town based on Burslem).
