February 2017: His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet

We were few on Monday, but we had a good chat about His Bloody Project – universally enjoyed, and lots of intriguing unresolved elements as a result of the 'unreliable' narrative construction, particularly around Jetta and exactly what Lachlan Broad’s relationship with Roddy’s mother had been.

Our next book is The Gustav Sonata by Rose Tremain.  

Next meeting is at Gill’s in Brighton on Tuesday 14^th March – hope to see lots of you there.

January 2017: Number 11 by Jonathan Coe

January's book was Number 11 by Jonathan Coe, and we met in Crawley to discuss it.

An intriguing story which provoked much animated talk, particularly of the ending and people's dissatisfaction, or otherwise, with the direction that the narrative went in.

The references to popular culture and our media-saturated world were appreciated, and the nature of the interconnected character stories; though inevitably there were preferences for different characters.

The moments of the 'menu heads' were much commented upon!

Thank you to Jane for hosting.
