Hello, Georgia…thanks for your question!

Sadly, we didn’t use a prepared list of questions specific to “The Lion in the Valley” when our Just Desserts group discussed it…we used more of a free-flowing discussion style based on whatever elements of the book the group members felt like touching upon.

Topics that we covered included: Historical accuracy (and whether or not it was important for a work like this); the relationships of the characters, and Amelia’s attitudes towards sex and the male-dominated career path she is on; the “reveal” of the series’ main antagonist in this volume, and his connection to Amelia; whether or not the portrayal of Amelia’s son is realistic.

The group was, generally, all pleased with this monthly selection — several members had already read many of the volumes in this series, and shared with the rest of us a general overview of Amelia’s life in later volumes.

Hope this helps a little. Enjoy your discussion!”
