I loved this book for many many reasons. One of the main being the very complex yet relatable characters. The novel explores the intricacies of family relationships.

Blackwood Book Club

Book club

A monthly evening book group. We either meet up at a pub/venue or host at our homes and everyone brings a dish. We select books several months in advance so everyone has a chance to put requests in at the library/share books. Meetings are a mix of book discussion and getting to know each other. Goal is to have 10-12 regular members, currently we have ~8. Currently, members are women in their late 20s through mid 40s.
