Bookclub pick for May is The Pyramid of Needs by Ernest Price.

It will be the last Thursday of the month, May 30th from 5.30-6.30pm.

 

A short intro:

Linda Taylor is livestreaming her glamourous life as an alternative health guru when she trips over in front of her followers and can't get up. When Linda's children, Jack and Alice, find out she's broken her hip and can't care for their ailing father or pay her bills, they decide to help. There's just one problem: Jack hasn't spoken to Linda since he came out as a trans man over a decade ago.

As the family gets together in Noosa and thunder clouds gather overhead, will family ties be enough to disentangle years of hurt, prejudice and pyramid-scheme brainwashing? Or will Jack have to cancel his mother for good?
