A series of stories about womens' lives, separate but interlinked, which come together in the final chapter. Beautifully written and very satisfying.

Bibliophile (Tunbridge Wells)

Seeking a book club

I will be looking after my baby granddaughter in Tunbridge Wells for three days a week January-May and would like to meet people while I am there rather than just sitting around doing nothing in the evenings. I am a member of a lively book group in Richmond, where I live for the rest of the week, and would like to find something similar in TW.

The Goldfinch

Fabulously immersive writing, diverse characters who cannot neatly be pigeonholed or be easily identified with, sense of place and lifestyle is conveyed vividly and the storyline is unusual and inventive.

AimeeB-52 (Ashford (Kent))

Seeking a book club

I LOVE reading but sometimes I need a push. Having studied literature avidly at school and then at universities I love discussing books and finding hidden themes or new perspectives of classics and well-loved reads that help me fall in love with it all over again. My favourite authors are Wilbur Smith and Garth Nix with Dracula being my go-to favourite book of all time. I would love to find a local book club in Ashford, or if anyone is interested, I used to run one at university so happy to start one up!

The Burning Shore

by Wilbur Smith | Learn more and buy

This is a great entry point for the Courtney Series by Wilbur Smith and was the first book I read that made me fall in love with Wilbur Smith's detailed and imaginative writing. Set mainly in Africa you follow the journey of Centaine - a young woman left to survive in the wilderness of Africa after a freak shipping accident during the first world war.
