I cheer up for Fiorella de Maria and i am going to participate in the discussion of her book.
Ignatius Press are offering a discount code for members of this group. BANISHED25
Do not worry i will be in the discussion. Everybody of the Group are good friends. Manuel Alfonseca is a comoderator of the Group and John is a good Man.
🤗 I promise that soon i will read your book cowritten with K.V. Turley although i am having some problems with the custom 😔.
Work has been crazy busy, couple of major projects, have not yet started August's book and still working on July's. But looking forward to rereading Poor Banished Children in September with the group.
If anyone is interested I interviewed Fiorella on my blog in Octover of 2019: https://www.bookreviewsandmore.ca/201... Author Profile and Interview with Fiorella de Maria.
Omg. I just went down a rabbit hole. Lol 👍🏻😆. Thanks for posting. When I saw this description.“… a Georgian house made Will start ranting about her educational opportunities…”.
So true.
Awesome
Looking forward to this read
Reviews like this one, always cause me to mark more books for reading.

In question 3, Fiorella reacts against "period drama [with] characters who are basically modern men and women in period costume."
I agree, and can provide another case: in the 1996 BBC adaptation of "The tenant of Wildfell Hall" by Anne Brönte, Gilbert travels to Helen's home after she returns with her husband to care for him in his last days. Gilbert requests Helen to leave her husband and go with him. This is not in the novel and would have been unthinkable in Brontë's time. This part of the adaptation always annoys me.
Many thanks to Fonch for his nomination! As well, heartfelt thanks to Fiorella for teaming up with the Catholic Book Club to give us a discount - and to Manuel for giving us the link to his interview with this remarkable writer.

It was Steven R. who gave the link, not me! :-)

Given how close the results were for the top two books, and the wide gap between them and the others, and as no one objected to the suggested extra time between voting and reading, the Moderators have decided to read them both, so with 8 votes the September 2024 BOTM will be Poor Banished Children: A Novel by Fiorella De Maria, nominated by Fonch.
The rest of the results were as follows:
Beheading Hydra 4
Eternal Woman 3
Pierre Toussaint 3
Prison Journal 3
Second Greatest Story Ever Told 3
Exogenesis 2
Godhead Here in Hiding 2
Sex and the Unreal City 2
Vipers Tangle 2
Voyage to Apha Centauri 2
Hundredfold 1
Our Lady of the Artilects 1
Wheat that Springeth Green 1
The three books that received only 1 vote each will be placed at the end of the Nominations List. The 5 books at the top of the Nominations List will be added to the Voting List in August.
In August we will choose the BOTM for October. This will hopefully give everyone time to get the books before we start reading them each month.
[Edited to reflect the decision to read the top two books this month.]
