Book of the Month for July is Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler. A midwest tale about young men, fame, friendship and whether you can ever really truly come home. Have a go at answering the Book Club questions or read my Big Review at the end of the month but in the meantime here is a snippet of what you are letting yourself in for:
Shotgun – the blurb
Henry, Lee, Kip and Ronny grew up together in rural Wisconsin. Friends since childhood, their lives all began the same way, but have since taken different paths. Henry stayed on the family farm and married his first love, whilst the others left in search of something more. Ronnie became a rodeo star, Kip made his fortune in the city, and musician Lee found fame – but heartbreak, too.
Now all four are back in town for a wedding, each of them hoping to recapture their old closeness but unable to escape how much has changed. Amid the happiness of reunion and celebration, old rivalries resurface and a wife’s secret threatens to tear both a marriage and a friendship apart . . .
