Reading group
Our reading group meets for lively discussions via Zoom at 2pm on the last Wednesday of each month. Here’s what’s coming up:
26 August – The Soul of Kindness by Elizabeth Taylor (Can anyone be too kind?)
30 September – Snobs by Julian Fellowes (A wonderful, slightly, cynical comedy of manners from the creator of ‘Downton Abbey’)
Email Jane Ellen at fredcharliej@gmail.com for further details on how to join the group (it’s free to everyone) and to register your place. Jane can also provide further details about the books and information on using Zoom.
STOP PRESS: Something to look forward to as the days shorten! A separate evening Open Door reading group will start in autumn online on Zoom! The evening group will read the same books: popular fiction of all types, generally bestsellers, and shorter rather than longer. Details coming soon.
