Our Book Club usually meet on a Monday in the Dunelm Cafe at 10.30am to discuss the chosen book.

We meet next on 7th April. The chosen book is Before the swallows come back by Fiona Curnow.  Email for details if you would like to join us.

Everyone is welcome to this informal club which has been running for over 8 years with five regular members. Books are mainly new, but we also have discussed some classics. We discuss what we thought of the chosen book and this often leads on to other topics. We are a mixed group of people, some from the Church, some from the local community who all enjoy reading and discussion.

If you’d like to purchase books please visit Easy Fundraising so that the church can get some commission without you paying anything different.

The last book we read was:

The unwanted inheritance by Imogen Clark

When Tony suddenly dies, he leaves behind three devastated children, Max, Ellie and Nathan. While Max and his wife Caroline are at Tony’s house, the cat scarpers upstairs and it is Caroline who, while searching for it, suddenly finds a case underneath Tony’s bed – containing over a quarter of a million pounds! Where on earth did this money come from? Was it gained legally or otherwise?

The family are left in a dilemma: Ellie and her husband James need their third of the money (especially James, for his own reasons) and Nathan who desperately needs money to ward off threats of a violent nature. However, as it is Caroline who found the money and the case is actually held by her and James, they both feel that it should be taken to the police to establish whether its origin is legal or not. As you can imagine, this creates a rift between the siblings and the story goes on from there.

It is an interesting storyline albeit written in what we felt was a rather ‘simple’ manner, perhaps for a younger audience! An easy read if you have a spare hour or two.
