This month we are reading a story by Tim Pears. Set in Devon, it tells the story of life beneath the blazing sun in a small rural village in England during the devastating drought of 1984. This is something we can relate to as our own long dry drought is coming to an end.We will be discussing this meeting together on Monday 13 May.
This meeting is now at Yvonne's home. See you here at 7:30 pm.
There were a lot of interesting comments about this book. The one that resonated the most was how the novel had an old world (aka 1930s) feel about it, but actually is based in 1984. Some of the chapters seemed to fall into the category of a short story, as it did not advance the plot but still added interest to the story.
ReplyDeleteThe title seemed a bit of a mystery to everyone.
Everyone seemed to feel that it was well written and interesting to read - which is the type of book a book group likes to read.
A good choice.
