Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Frankfurt?
The concept is simple. We’re a global book club for likeminded women to discuss great books! All members of the book club read the same book over the same period; members then meet up in their respective cities at the end of each month to discuss the book and exchange views.
Grab your seat!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. Pick up your copy, check your local meeting date, and come meet a welcoming community of women who love great books and even better conversation.Local Chapter Information below (scroll down)

Hi Christine,
I had registered for today but unfortunately will not be able to make it as something urgent has come up. Apologies for the last minute cancellation. (If there is a WhatsApp group, it would be great if you can add me for easier communication)
