The St Margaret's House Book Club will next meet on Monday 19th May from 6.30pm, when we will be sharing thoughts on Leonie Swann's Three Bags Full in the Anson Room. Come through the main front door and ring the bell for someone to come and collect you.
About the book:
On a hillside near the cosy Irish village of Glennkill, a flock of sheep gather around their beloved shepherd George, who lies murdered, his body pinned to the pasture with a spade.
Fortunately, George has left behind an unusually intelligent group of sheep. Every night since they were lambs, he has read aloud to them - fairy tales, factual books about ovine disease, even detective stories - in order to help them sleep.
Faced with a real-life investigation, the flock spring into action.
For our 2025 book selection, we will alternate between two themes - animal protagonists, and genre fiction (a different genre for each of the 6 months of this theme)
For those wishing to get a head start, our June book will be The Sandcastle by Iris Murdoch for our comedy genre read and in July we will return to animal protagonists with Jonathan Livingstone Seagull by Richard Bach.
