Hi all
Our last book 'Perfume' led to an animated discussion with many new perspectives being raised. Sadly we are still in the dark about the author's central premise, so shed some light if you can!
The BBC has become such a success we want to share the happy experience with others who have expressed an interst in joining (surely it's not just the wine and nibbles calling!). as a result we have decided to trial two groups B1 and B2.
B1 is tackling 'The boy in the striped pyjamas' by John Boyne. Although a 'children's book', it will appeal to many adults, and I am sure provoke discussion about the authenticity of its portrayal of life in a concentration camp.
B2 will be reading 'Geography' by Sophie Cunningham in preparation for her visit to the Midura Writers' Festival in July. I am looking forward to reading this her first novel as i certainly enjoyed "Bird" the story of a singer-actress who became a Buddhist nun.
Happy reading!
