Description
Come and join in the discussion at our Summer Reads Book Club, running once a fortnight from June-August offering lively, informal chat about six great books.You’ll get to meet fellow readers and will have the chance to share your thoughts with others.
You can find out more about the books and the whole Summer Reads experience: hearing the authors read at events, discussing the books online, downloading exclusive content and taking part in competitions on our Summer Reads page.
This week is the fifth session and you can discuss The Widow’s Tale by Mick Jackson, running from 6pm at Cafe Metro, Jarrolds:
A woman runs out of her house, gets in her car and starts driving. And carries on until she reaches the Norfolk coast. There she rents a cottage and hides away, contemplating the recent death of her husband. After a few drunken walks however, memories of another man start to crop up...
The discussion, like all six Book Club sessions, will be led by Writers' Centre Norwich's Sam Ruddock - a keen reader. You'll find yourself in a welcoming, inclusive environment with other people just as keen about reading as you are. Sam says: “Shot through with gallows humour, The Widow’s Tale takes you on a tour of the north Norfolk coast in the company of a wonderfully unapologetic narrator you cannot help but love.”
If you'd like to chat about the Book Club and find out more, do call Sam Ruddock on 01603 877177 or email him on readers@writerscentrenorwich.org.uk.
