Unbecoming by Rebecca Scherm

Cleveland Park Mystery Book Club June selection

On June 2, 6:30 p.m., we'll discuss Unbecoming by Rebecca Scherm. In this first novel, the objets d’art produced in the Paris atelier of Zanuso et Filles by a young woman who calls herself Julie and claims to come from California are so lovely, it hardly seems fair to call them fakes. The same applies to Julie from California, who is really Grace from Garland, Tenn.
