The Bee Sting

by Paul Murray | Learn more and buy

Compelling story line and well written. The proverbial page turner. The main characters are all flawed but likeable.

IKC (Whitley Bay)

Seeking a book club

Am 76 and just moved back to Tynemouth. An avid reader, mostly serious fiction (Pullitzer, Booker etc), but biographies and poetry too. Have enjoyed book clubs in the past. Last book club format was 1 book per week with no serious lit crit, seriously flawed for those very reasons imo.

Divergent

Seeking a book club

I'm a teacher who took early retirement to look after family and live life more fully. I love all things 'bookish' ... the feel & smell of a book will always be a joy to me. I will read absolutely anything but I am drawn to books which leave their mark long after I've read the last page. Looking to join ( or even start up) a book club in Sunderland.
