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)

Hello!
My name is Amanda and I’m the Director of Marketing & Communications at Theatre SilCo in Silverthorne in Summit County, Colorado. This communication is for our local Summit County Chapter of The Gloss.
I’m reaching out to let you know about a wonderful opportunity for your book club to enjoy an evening at the theatre together. Our March production at Theatre SilCo is called The Book Club Play – a hit comedy about books and the people who love them. We here at the theatre would like to invite your book club to come and enjoy the show together, for a fun and entertaining way to bond over your shared love of books; we guarantee there will be lots of laughs! You can learn more about the play at : https://thesilco.org/
The Book Club Play runs from March 8th – 23rd. Book clubs who have at least four members attending together will receive a 10% discount. Just give our box office a call at 970.513.9386 and our staff will be ready to assist you. (Insider tip – tickets are going quickly, we’ve already sold out four nights, so don’t wait too long)!
We would also welcome your participation in our book drive, benefitting the Summit County Library (more information forthcoming). Further, on the night of the show you can expect to think, connect and learn in the lobby, at our Reading Nook and Book Club Corner; you’ll even receive a memento to take home.
Lastly, if you’d like to make a full night of it, we do have space to rent before the show where your group can enjoy food, visit our bar and delight in a brief visit from our Director or a Cast Member, all in an intimate setting created exclusively for your group. You can learn more about pre-show experiences in our Omni Real Estate Lounge here: https://thesilco.org/rent-our-space/#preshowexperience
Thank you for your time. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. We hope to see you and The Gloss Summit Chapter at The Book Club Play!
Warm regards,
Amanda
