Our next Monday book club is on 6th April when we’ll discuss The Boy from the Sea by Garrett Carr. An Observer Best Debut of the Year, the book is praised as “compassionate, lyrical and full of devilment” by Louise Kennedy (author of Trespasses) and “a joy . . . Vivid, loving and genuinely funny” by The Sunday Times when they selected it as a Best Book of the Year.
Our first Thursday book club is on 9th April when we’ll discuss Greater Sins by Gabrielle Griffiths. The book is praised by the Radio Times as having an “extraordinary sense of place and time, written by an exciting new voice” when they selected it in their Best Books of 2025 feature. Amy Twigg (author of Spoilt Creatures) described Greater Sins as “a striking debut, filled with folkloric mystery and yearning” and Lucy Steeds (The Artist) called it “beguiling and elegiac”.
Our next Monday book club is on 4th May when we’ll discuss The Names by Florence Knapp, which was chosen as a Book of the Year by the Guardian, Independent, and the Sunday Times who said 'I've just been blown away by the best debut novel in years . . . A genius idea for a book’.
Our next Thursday book club is on 14th May when we’ll discuss Late in the Day by Tessa Hadley. The book was chosen by the Sunday Times in their list of 100 Great 21st Century Novels, who praised it as “a fine-grained novel of friendship, loss and jealousy”.
