Book Group
Since its inauguration in 2017 our Book Group has gone from strength to strength. We meet to discuss a new book every 2 months in the WI Hall whenever possible. Our sessions are very enjoyable and aim to promote lots of lively debates.
Owing to the practicalities of a group discussion the number of members has had to be limited and there is sometimes a waiting list. Any WI member may apply to have their name added to the waiting list by contacting Judith Stephenson Tel 872933
Next meeting Thursday May 9th 3pm
MISS BENSON’S BEETLE by RACHEL JOYCE
It is 1950. In a devastating moment of clarity, Margery Benson abandons her dead-end job and advertises for an assistant to accompany her on an expedition. She is going to travel to the other side of the world to search for a beetle that may or may not exist.
Enid Pretty, in her unlikely pink travel suit, is not the companion Margery had in mind. And yet together they will be drawn into an adventure that will exceed every expectation. They will risk everything, break all the rules, and at the top of a red mountain, discover their best selves.
Each book is chosen by the group leader at the moment with valuable help from other members. We choose from a wide variety of authors and from a broad selection of genres, themes and writing styles. Titles and synopses of previous choices can be viewed here.
​
All WI members now have the opportunity to see reviews left by other members and to comment themselves on any of our books. Also, recommendations for new titles which members may like to read at their leisure can be made here.
