Our traveling book club will visit Moroso's Pizzeria (4700 Bosque Blvd.) to discuss The Bettencourt Affair. Liliane Bettencourt was the world's richest woman, but her life took a dark turn in the last decade. Her scandal started with a bohemian relationship, but eventually uncovered L'Oreal's shadowy corporate history and secrets dating back to WWII.
