As always our book club this evening was a lovely night, we were split down the middle 50/50 to whether we had actually finished the book this month (I personally hadn't! oops) Those of us who hadn't found it difficult to get into and that it jumped around from one story arc to another, those who had said it continued like that throughout the book and took them until at least halfway through until they really felt into it. For a book that was so well reviewed we were all a little disappointed and all agreed its not one we would reread or recommend. Even so, we still had a good night chatting about it (and other subjects too!)
Our next meeting will be Monday 31st March, 7.30pm at The Samuel Lloyd pub in Corby.
The chosen book this month is:
Apple Tree Yard - Louise Doughty
A stunning psychological thriller about a respected female scientist and the single reckless decision that leads to her standing trial for murder
Yvonne Carmichael has worked hard to achieve the life she always wanted: a high-flying career in genetics, a beautiful home, a good relationship with her husband and their two grown-up children.
Then one day she meets a stranger at the Houses of Parliament and, on impulse, begins a passionate affair with him - a decision that will put everything she values at risk.
At first she believes she can keep the relationship separate from the rest of her life, but she can't control what happens next. All of her careful plans spiral into greater deceit and, eventually, a life-changing act of violence.
Apple Tree Yard is a psychological thriller about one woman's adultery and an insightful examination of the values we live by and the choices we make, from an acclaimed writer at the height of her powers
Hope you can join us.
