Last week, the Chatelaine Book Club hosted its very first Book Club Breakfast.

We had the pleasure of meeting Alan Lightman, physicist and author of Mr g and Einstein's Dreams. Alan read the first chapter from his new novel, Mr g, and chatted with us about existence and the creation of the universe, as well as his writing process and favourite books. He also graciously signed copies of Mr g for guests and fellow book lovers.

The Chatelaine Book Club is honoured to have met with Alan, and a big thank you to Random House Canada for allowing us to have the event at their offices. We'll keep you posted about upcoming Book Club meetings in the future!
