The Tea, Scones & Gardens Reading Group had a large turnout this past Saturday, December 10, 2022, at the Virginia Robinson Gardens. It was exciting that we had so many first-time attendees! The Duesenberg Caper by Roger Corea brought in some car enthusiasts like the Robinsons must have been; some attendees had family members who had raced cars. In this novel, we enjoyed reliving the dynamism between the two protagonists Ada and Andrew and their eye-opening exposure to the criminal enterprises surrounding the auctions of rare high-end luxury vehicles in that era and as set in Sicily. Our next gathering on March 18, 2023, will enjoy discussing the book Charles Chaplin: My Autobiography. Mr. Chaplin, a one-time neighbor of the Robinsons, was a frequent guest and mixed doubles tennis partner of Virginia. His career and popularity are legendary, and he sets forth a compelling case for this in his own words.
