So, the end of the third year of the 3 “K’s” book club. – What a jolly crew we were,snug in the 3″K’s” regaling ourselves on cheese straws,mince pies and chocolate cake washed down with fine ale supplied by our hostess Sue. Sparkling conversation,witty repartee – a wonderfully convivial atmosphere – Oh yes .the book !
December’s choice was “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens.
Considering it’s age – it was first published in 1843 – it went down a storm scoring five 9’s and a 10 with the total score coming out at 8.7
Yes the writing was old fashioned ,but the images of winter and Christmas in the late 19th century were beautifully portrayed and it wasn’t too long.
How lucky we are to live in the 20th century.
The final cherry on the cake was a quiz based on the 36 titles read over the last 3 years and the gift of a wonderfully decorated bookmark made by our leader Ross.
January’s book is “Lily ” by Rose Tremain
Hope you all had a good Christmas and we have a better 2023!
