Each month a member will pick a book of fiction (available in paperback) and lead the discussion. We will start in October with my choice of "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver. This will enable us to focus on two great writers, Kingsolver and Charles Dickens as the novel is loosely based on "David Copperfield". If you could come along with your choice of book, then we can arrange a programme from November to July. Last year we read a wonderful variety of novels from 'The Warden' by Anthony Trollope to 'The Silence of the Girls' by Pat Barker. We focus on setting, plot, character, themes, language and critical reception but wide-ranging discussions often ensue on our own opinions of literature and life.
