Join St Margaret’s House Book Club for an engaging evening of conversation
The St Margaret's House Book Club will next meet on Monday 20th April from 6.30pm when we will be sharing thoughts on Pearl S Buck's The Mother.
About the book:
Within this novel Pearl Buck paints the portrait of a poor woman living in a remote village whose joys are few and hardships are many. As the ancient traditions, which she bases her philosophies upon, begin to collide with the new ideals of the communist era, this peasant woman must find a balance between them and deal with the consequences.
For 2026, we will read a book written by a female author in each decade from the 1900s to 2010s, in chronological order. For those wishing to get a head start, in April, our book published between 1930-1939 is The Mother by Pearl Buck.
