Book clubs in Mid Glamorgan

Loved everything about this book, and so has everyone I leant it to 😊

Captivating storyline following a family through generations. I also loved the interesting details of how the old churches were built and the way of life in the 12th century era.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It’s about to ruined childhood. I won’t say to much because I don’t want to spoil it for people but I highly recommend reading it

Incredibly powerful story of survival, self-realisation and courage. Have loved this book since I first read it for my A' Level English class. It's challenging but rewarding to work with the phonetic structure the author used to convey the linguistics of the time, place and situation. Love it.

Somehow it's thought of as a fluffy book for children, but I don't recall anyone getting tarred and feathered in any of Enid Blyton's oeuvre.

It's like nothing I have read

Partly what I love about this book is the story behind finding it. I spotted a niche, little sci-fi, fantasy book shop while on a pub crawl with friends. My brain immediately went into side-quest mode, and, to the annoyance of my non-reading friends, I spent the next hour in the shop floating on air. I returned early the next day while my friends slept off their hangovers and challenged the shop owner to find me a book based on my genre turn-ons. After a few false starts, he handed me Replay by Ken Grimwood. The timeloop gimmick nearly put me off, but I assumed that when this came out in 87, it was probably one of the fresher examples of the trope. I'm so glad I gave this a go. The characters were great. It had sci-fi and historical elements, and was strangely hopeful while being bitterly nostalgic. Definitely worth a go!

I started reading Pterry in the late 80s and loved them all. Discworld books have literally saved my life. Any situation of life is covered with biting wit, searing social/political commentary, vulgar humour and an unparalleled breadth of literary knowledge
