BOOK CLUB: The Seventh Son – Sebastian Faulks
Wednesday 13th November – 7:15 for :7:30pm
A child will be born who will change everything… Tech billionaire Lukas Parn has an ambitious plan. Behind the doors of the IVF clinic in his London institute, a daring switch is made. Young academic Talissa Adam believes she is simply carrying a child for a grateful family, but the baby inside her is different from any living human.
The boy, Seth, grows up unaware, though his parents note that he’s different: he can’t make plans, is unaware of danger and seems to have at least one extra sense. But as Seth becomes a man, the truth about him is revealed and the world starts to hunt him down.
The discussion will be led by Sally
CLASSIC BOOK CLUB: The Warden – Anthony Trollope
Wednesday 27th November – 7:15 for :7:30pm
Trollope’s witty, satirical story of a quiet cathedral town shaken by scandal – as the traditional values of Septimus Harding are attacked by zealous reformers and ruthless newspapers – is a drama of conscience that pits individual integrity against worldly ambition.
In The Warden Anthony Trollope brought the fictional county of Barsetshire to life, peopled by a cast of brilliantly realised characters that have made him among the supreme chroniclers of the minutiae of Victorian England.
The discussion will be led by Sally and Elizabeth
