Reading – Modern Novels

A book group reading novels published since 2010, chosen by the members and often drawn from the shortlists of major awards such as the Booker and the Costa, with attention to the style of writing as well as the content. Each meeting opens with a short introduction from the member who chose the book, followed by general discussion, a short break, and further discussion that usually includes brief readings from the novel. It meets fortnightly on Tuesday afternoons from 2pm until 4pm at Perdiswell Young People's Leisure Club. The group is full and new members can only join the waiting list.
