The Correspondent

by Virginia Evans | Learn more and buy

End of life reflections on family, guilt, grief and relationships. My top read of 2026 so far.

Celia (Chipping Norton)

‘We read to know we’re not alone’ - my favourite line from one of my favourite films, Shadowlands. I’m looking for human connection beyond the pages, a chance to meet with other book worms and share thoughts and responses, and hopefully a laugh or two.

Celia recommends:

Arrested Song

by Irena Karafilly | Learn more and buy

The depth of the characters, the powerful writing and the detailed historical context informed by careful research that follows the protagonist, Calliope, through the turbulence of Greece’s years during the Second World War and beyond. I loved Calliope’s sharp intelligence, dry wit and the depth of her inner life that we’re privy to. She feels injustice keenly and we warm to her because she is human; she errs because she has such a big heart, which guides her actions, not always for the best. This is the sort of book she don’t want to end.

Book Time Out- Annie (Henley-on-Thames)

Suhas (Banbury)

Hello my name is Suhas, and I'm on the lookout for a vibrant book club or people that shares my passion for intellectual exploration and diverse literary tastes.

Emma J (Witney)

I am a fan of historical fiction and books on social commentary. I'm not keen on crime, fantasy and/or romance novels ("penny dreadfuls"). I'm a middle-aged feminist, supportive of the exploration of EDI issues, particularly relating to mental health, the menopause, maternal separation and the LGBTQAIP+ community. I am a keen reader but I live on my own so would like the opportunity to engage with others on topics that are important to our society. I am currently reading, "Henry VIII, The Heart & The Crown" by Alison Weir and "The Art of Thinking Clearly" by Rolf Dobelli.

Emma J recommends:

confessions of a forty-something f##k up

by Potter, Alexandra | Learn more and buy

Told from a woman's perspective this is light-hearted, funny and deeply serious, all at the same time. As a 40-something f##k up, I found this extremely relatable. It's a fictional novel but it could just as easily be classed as a self-help book and it really helped my understand that I'm not a f##k up, I'm human and there is no text book for life. A very refreshing and uplifting read.

Elijah (Oxford)

Hey, I'm looking to get into reading more regularly with others around my age (22). I normally prefer slow-burn character studies & sci-fi, but I'm open minded. Happy to commute anywhere within Oxford.

Rach (Bicester)

Recently fallen back in love with reading. I’ll read pretty much anything but my comfort reads are; historical fiction and fantasy. I’m always open to reading new books and I like to be inspired by others and what they’ve enjoyed. I’ll give any book a go.

Harshica (Witney)
