What we are reading...
Finding Flora by Elinor Florence is our January pick at The Gloss — a fierce, big-hearted novel to start the year with inspiration, courage, and conversation.
Set in 1905 Alberta, the story begins with Flora making a daring escape from an abusive marriage by leaping from a moving train. Determined to reclaim her life, she uses a legal loophole to secure her own homestead on the Canadian frontier. What follows is a deeply satisfying tale of resilience and reinvention as Flora builds an unexpected chosen family: a Welsh widow and her children, two American chicken-raisers, and a Métis horse breaker. Together, they learn to survive the land, protect one another, and “fire the heather” when everything they’ve fought for is at risk.
A perfect read for anyone who loves stories of frontier grit, female strength, and communities forged in unlikely places, Finding Flora offers rich themes and memorable characters that will spark a fantastic discussion.
Join us this January as chapters around the world come together to read and explore this unforgettable novel. Whether you’re brand new to The Gloss or returning for another great year of reading, we’d love to have you with us.

Great read. I could hardly put it down… so many twists and turns. I live in Beaverton and a friend who just found out about the book club told me about Gloss. How often do you meet? I see that you rotate between Sunderland , Cannington and Beaverton. I look forward to getting more information about Gloss. Have a great day. Gail
Awesome Gail! you’re welcome to join us – our host, Rebecca, is wonderful and it’s a great group of ladies.
Glad to see you found us on Facebook! Can’t wait to meet at an upcoming meeting 🙂
Agreed with this book! I devoured it and was surprised by some of the twists and turns. Have added more by Mary Kubica to my reading list.
Hi,
I’m interested in learning more about this book club. What times are the meetings? Also do you have to pay a membership fee? Where can you just purchase the books?
Thank you.
