This month’s featured books take you to Seoul and Sydney for a sweeping story of ambition, love, and family, accompanied by gimbap and ANZAC cookies; into the world of 1980s New York publishing, with cocktails and pizza; to Westchester for domestic suspense, where bottomless mimosas set the stage for a deceptively joyful celebration; and to Greece, where a new cookbook celebrates the fresh flavors of the Mediterranean.


Enjoy a new club menu from the author of Fallen for France, along with new book suggestions from our GalleyMatch book clubs.

Authors Share Book-Inspired Fare

Thanks to author Elizabeth Letts who shared a book club menu for our readers.

Set in Morocco and France during World War I, Elizabeth Letts's novel Fallen for France follows three lives bound together by a magnificent Arabian mare and a string of amber beads. 


From Elizabeth Letts: "Throughout Fallen for France, food offers moments of comfort, hospitality, and human connection amid extraordinary hardship. One memorable scene features beghir, Morocco's beloved 'thousand-hole' pancakes, served with honey to welcome guests. Pair them with fresh Moroccan mint tea for a simple treat inspired by the novel."


Moroccan Beghir (thousand-hole pancakes) with fresh mint tea.
