The St Margaret's House Book Club will next meet on Monday 18th August from 6.30pm when we will be sharing thoughts on Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Livingston Piranesi in the Anson Room. Come through the main front door and ring the bell for someone to come and collect you.
About the book:
This is a story for people who follow their hearts and make their own rules...people who get special pleasure out of doing something well, even if only for themselves...people who know there's more to this living than meets the eye: they’ll be right there with Jonathan, flying higher and faster than ever they dreamed.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull is no ordinary bird. He believes it is every gull's right to fly, to reach the ultimate freedom of challenge and discovery, finding his greatest reward in teaching younger gulls the joy of flight and the power of dreams.
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, in September we return to our animal protagonist read, The Ghost Cat by Alex Howard, and in October, we will be shifting our genre to horror and will read We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson.
