The novels we read reflect the changes in the world during the twentieth century. Taking turns to lead, we consider their appeal when they were published and today. The aim is to range through the 1900s and to include literature from a variety of genres and cultural backgrounds. This year we start with John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids. Read it in advance so you can join in the discussion in session 1. Henry James' The Turn of the Screw is the choice for November. Together with the in-person group, we shall draw up a programme from December. The two groups read the same books, but are separate. We plan to meet throughout the year, but out of term some sessions may be held jointly with the in-person group (by Zoom). Dates and times for those may vary.
