August walk
Our walkers enjoyed a lovely walk on a beautiful August day in Banwell. One our members Barbara owns an area of woodland there and so a walk was arranged around the woods and back to her hideaway hut for refreshments. Thank you so much Barbara for letting us enjoy your gorgeous woodland. Pat to announce the next walk at our September meeting.
We all thoroughly enjoyed The Salt Path by Raynor Wynn which was the book we discussed at our August meeting. It generated a lot of comment and sharing of different experiences of the group. The second book entitled Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng was read by some of our members and was talked about in depth. A great evening. The next book chosen by Jenny C is Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone which is about a seemingly ordinary office girl who extracts a terrible revenge on one of her work colleagues. The next meeting will be at Denise's on 9th October at 7.30pm This is a longer gap than usual to allow members who are on holiday to attend.
2nd Book Club
Another enjoyable evening for the group. The book entitled Transcription by Chloe Benjamin had a mixed reaction. It was agreed that it was a complicated book to follow the plot but nevertheless produced a lot of comments. Our next book chosen by Mallory is The confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins. Here is a synopsis.
"1826, and all of London is in a frenzy. Crowds gather at the gates of the Old Bailey to watch as Frannie Langton, maid to Mr and Mrs Benham, goes on trial for their murder. The testimonies against her are damning - slave, whore, seductress. And they may be the truth. But they are not the whole truth"
Ooh! Looks interesting. The next meeting to discuss will be at Penny's on Monday 30th September at 7.30pm.
