Our group has no special interest; it’s mostly fiction, an occasional biography - just books or authors we enjoy and want to talk about afterwards. I choose the first book of the year and the group suggests and chooses the rest of the year. The book I’ve chosen to start this year, is in fact a biography, recommended by a friend whose opinion I respect: “Wifedom” by Anna Funder and is about George Orwell’s ‘forgotten wife’. The copy I have is in hardback and I don’t know whether it is out in paperback. If it isn't, and you don’t want to splash out on hardback (though try World of books (WOB) on the internet for secondhand books), what I suggest is that you get a book by the same author and we can widen the discussion. If this sounds to your taste, I look forward to meeting you.
