Our November choices were :-“Once upon a river” by Diane Setterfield and “A Whole Life” by by Robert Seethaler
The general consensus was that Once Upon a River was beautifully written and a gripping mystery – saying that one member expressed the opinion that he/she didn’t really care what happened to the characters – this affected the score which came out at 7.2 out of 10
Interestingly A Whole Life also achieved a 7.2 score – mainly because two of our members gave it top marks – It was a simple tale gently told of an unremarked existence.
All of our “Reads” are unforgettable if only for different reasons.
Our choice for December is :-“If on a winters night a traveller” by Italo Calvino.
