The St Margaret's House Book Club will next meet on Monday 15th September from 6.30pm when we will be sharing thoughts on Alex Howard's The Ghost Cat in the Anson Room. Come through the main front door and ring the bell for someone to come and collect you.
About the book:
Early morning, 1902. Grimalkin the cat ambles over to curl up against the welcome heat and lick his favourite human's hand. But this is to be his last day on earth ... before he becomes the Ghost Cat.
Follow Grimalkin as he witnesses the changes of the next 120 years, prowling unseen among the inhabitants of an Edinburgh tenement, while unearthing some startling revelations about the mystery of existence, the unstoppable march of time and the true meaning of feline companionship.
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 October we will be shifting our genre to horror and will read We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson.
