Bettyville by George Hodgman When George Hodgman leaves Manhattan for his hometown of Paris, Missouri, he finds himself in a head-on collision with his aging mother, Betty, a woman of wit and will. Yet he can’t bring himself to force her out of the home both treasure – the place where his father’s voice lingers, the scene of shared jokes, skirmishes, and, behind the dusty antiques, a rarely acknowledged conflict: Betty, who speaks her mind but cannot quite reveal her heart, has never really accepted the fact that her son is gay.

All books of the month are available at the Club Library, Kinokuniya, the National Library and Amazon. For more information or to register, please call 6739-4308 or email library@amclub.org.sg.
