New members always welcome
The book this month was There Are Rivers In The Sky by Elif Shafak.
A lot of positive feedback for this book and all agreed it was well written and well researched. The author weaves the three separate stories together in an interesting way using the water and the imagery of the two rivers, and many people admire the author for tackling such a heavy subject matter. Some found the story quite sad and depressing especially with it being based on real events and it opened up a conversation about how people feel depressed and sometimes ignorant of whats happening around the world and wanting to look more into some of the history. Some felt it was a little long and wordy in places but also other place could have had more detail in them, but overall the description were really vivid, especially of the river Thames in the Victorian period. Many people would recommend this book and will even be keeping their copy, and although we have already done one book from this author, people would still like to read more by them.
Score 8/10
Our next meeting is on the 27th October 2025 at 7.30pm and the book chosen was:
Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris
We recommend for new members to read the book before joining so they can participate in the discussion.
