"Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting" -Edmund Burke. Come reflect with our fun book groups.
Second Tuesday: our fiction book group.
The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman is the topic for the next meeting of this group. Tom Rachman's debut novel follows the topsy-turvy private lives of the reporters and editors of an English language newspaper in Rome. "Each chapter is so finely wrought that it could stand alone as a memorable short story. Slowly, the separate strands become entwined and the line characters have drawn between their work and home lives is erased" -The Financial Times.
