Book Group Report

Last Saturday's meeting was very enjoyable, with a great discussion on The Virtuoso by Sonya Orchard. General consensus was that it was extremely enjoyable, well researched, and creatively written, with some constructive and informed criticism/evaluation from one member of the group. But all in all a good start to our group reading.

We also discussed what else we had been reading in the last month, and some great titles were described and noted.

Our book for June meeting, chosen by Annette, is Sacred Country by Rose Tremain (2 copies currently available from the bookshop if you cant locate at your library)

And for July meeting, chosen by Lorraine, A Week In December by Sebastian Faulks (let me know if you would like to place an order but give plenty of time for it to come in)

We also decided to trial a meeting on Sunday afternoons to have a little more time for discussion and not to feel too rushed, especially over the winter months. Also we are choosing books in order according to first letter of our first names.

So next meeting for Sacred Country is Sunday June 6th at 3.00pm at the shop.

Best wishes and happy reading!
