July Meeting

We met on the 5th July to discuss ‘Grace Williams Says it loud’ by Emma Henderson. A challenging read and a profoundly moving story of the life of a disabled girl brought up first by her family and then in a home in 1950s/60s Britain. This was a great choice and gave rise to some brilliant discussions with the majority of the group really enjoying the book and  it  shows the value of a book group as most of us said it was not something we would have picked off the book shop shelf but were delighted we had read it!

Our next book is ‘This Party’s Got to Stop’ by Rupert Thomson, don’t forget we have no meeting in August so the next date is  Tuesday 6th September.

Happy summer reading!

    Hi,
    I would like to attend the october meeting, do I just attend or do I let somebody know? How much does it cost and if I want to catch up is it This partys got to stop or the Possessions of Doctor Forrest I should be reading until October?
    Thank you so much for your help,
    Kind Regards,
    Louise
