#AugustGrrrl #IHeardARumor Historical fiction about the bonds & complex relationships between sisters & families, partially narrated by 15-year-old Rumor. There was also plenty of rumor & innuendo about the exhibit her estranged aunt Addie takes part in with her nudist colony at the 1935 California International Expo at San Diego's Balboa Park. There was a real-life exhibit & I pulled a pic that covers most 'bits & pieces'+a pic of the 'peepers'😳

Cinfhen Ooh, I forgot all about this book...I see I panned it on GR 😬but it does fit for today's prompt perfectly 👌🏼 8y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Hah! I really liked it. 😘 8y
mommyincolortv @DebinHawaii Have you ever read The Group? It seems similar to this. Sorry,I can't think of the author right now. 8y
ApoptyGina69 @concreterosereads5889 The Group is by Mary McCarthy and I recommend it also! 👍 8y
DebinHawaii @concreterosereads5889 @ApoptyGina69 I have not read it-although I've picked it up several times. Sounds like I should give it a try! 📚😀 8y

#Recommendsday A favorite read from last year. Historical fiction in an unusual setting-San Diego & the Zoro Gardens Nudist Colony Exhibit at the 1935 California International Exposition in 1935. Family secrets & the bonds between sisters & nieces, told from the POVs of Addie & her niece Rumor. Not always a happy read-there's some domestic & childhood sexual abuse, but hopeful & endearing. Blog review w/Grilled Cheese Egg-in-the-Hole Sandwich. ❤️

LauraBeth This sounds interesting 8y
DebinHawaii @LauraBeth I really liked it and the whole nudist colony life and the fair/expo in 1935 aspect (both were real things/events) were intriguing. 👍 8y
