May and June 2014

Since there were a number of people who couldn't attend April's book group meeting, and since those who did hadn't finished reading 'Nights at the Circus', we'll be discussing that again at the May meeting.  Which means that we'll return to Pat Barker's first world war trilogy in June. 

Tuesday 20th May, Angela Carter's 'Nights at the Circus':

Tuesday 17th June, Pat Barker's 'The Eye in the Door':
