Geraint (Shrewsbury)

Seeking a book club

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 | Learn more and buy

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

Say Nothing

by Patrick Radden Keefe | Learn more and buy

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 | Learn more and buy

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.

Babel

by R F Kuang | Learn more and buy

Set mainly in Oxford in the 1800s, bit of magic and about the British empire and the power of translation. I was hooked and couldn't wait to get through it, obviously I was then devastated when I got to the final page that the adventure was over!

Finding the mother tree

by Suzanne simard | Learn more and buy

As a tree lover anyway, this book has had a profound impact on me ever since. It is scientific, fascinating, sad and hopeful. It's a beautiful story of the authors life and her bond with trees in Canada. Highly recommend

Unwell Women

by Elinor cleghorn | Learn more and buy

History of medicine and the LACK of female inclusion... It's maddening, gripping, frustrating, insightful and a must read.

Pachinko

by Min Jin Lee | Learn more and buy

Honestly I bought this in the airport before a flight with zero expectations, and I was gripped. It's a beautiful story of 3 generations from Koreo in Japan over the 20th century. I learnt a lot about the history of Korea and Japan but also fell in love with the characters. It's beautiful with some tragic twists. I cried so recommend tissues.

Klara & the Sun

by Kazuo Ishiguro | Learn more and buy

I finished this in one day. A story of friendship in the technological world. It's sad, gripping, beautiful and a must read. I loved this book so much I didn't want it to end. Just beautiful

Lessons in Chemistry

by Bonnie Garmus | Learn more and buy

A feminist, a chemist and a love story. It's gorgeous and made me feel warm inside (not all the time though to be fair) but I adored this book
