Current read ( for discussion at June's meeting)

Zadie Smith's On beauty

Set in New England mainly and London partly, "On Beauty" concerns a pair of feuding families - the Belseys and the Kipps - and a clutch of doomed affairs. It puts low morals among high ideals and asks some searching questions about what life does to love. For the Belseys and the Kipps, the confusions - both personal and political - of our uncertain age are about to be brought close to home: right to the heart of family.

Reader's reviews
The writing is adventurous
I was not disappointed
a rollicking story
. . .found myself being completely drawn into its world. . .

We are a mixed age group, some retired, some working full and part-time, more ladies than men at present, who like books and reading. Our discussions are wide ranging and extend beyond the initial content of the book. We do look at the literary style, but generally discuss was it a good read, did we like the book or didn't we!

We also have a Teenage Reading Group, find out more here!
