Upcoming Books

Some of the books we'll be discussing

We usually discuss two books every six weeks – one 19th (or 18th) Century and one 20th Century classic. You can choose to read one or both of the books (or neither..this isn’t school).

The discussion times each month will vary, and we’ll schedule two discussions of each book to suit different time zones.

Here are some of our past reads

The Country Girls by Edna O’Brien 

20th Century Classic – Published in 1960 in Ireland

NB: We will just be reading the first volume and not the trilogy of three novels, which is sometimes also called The Country Girls.
