Amy

Hi, I'm a newer reader but I do love a good book. Mainly read thriller and mystery books, but love a good romance or fantasy as well. Looking to join a book club to help expand my horizons and get more book recommendations.

Simon

Like to read.

Geraint

An avid reader of both fiction and factual/historical novels, I am looking for a local book club in which to share the joy of literature and discover recommendations for books to read from all others. My recent reads and recommendations include "The Black Angels" by Maria Smilios, "Say Nothing" by Patrick Radden Keefe, "The Secret Hours" by Mick Herron (Slow Horses author) and all of Victoria Hislop's books. Looking forward to hearing from you.

The Black Angels

by Maria Smilios | Buy this book

The untold story of the nurses who helped to cure Tuberculosis.

Say Nothing

by Patrick Radden Keefe | Buy this book

A true story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland. Superbly, sympathetically and accurately written, the account focuses on the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

The Island

by Victoria Hislop | Buy this book

Written in 2005, "The Island" is a beautiful and moving tale of four generations rent by war, illicit love, violence and leprosy, from the thirties, through WW2, to the present day. The story of Spinalonga - Greece's former leper colony is incredible, heart-warming and educational. The follow up novel "The Return" continues the story to a modern day conclusion. Both brilliant.

The book is excellently written you will connect the the main character immediately. It’s a band of ordinary people trying to get by in extraordinary times.
