Once again the sun was shining on Brixton Book Group and we sat outside at Mango Landin. Everyone enjoyed the Hotel New Hampshire and we had a good chat.
The book for next time is The Glass Room by Simon Mawer.
Runners up were:
George Orwell - Down and Out in Paris and London
Jenny Diski - Monkey's Uncle
Thomas Middleton - Women Beware Women
Saul Bellow - Seize the Day
David Vann - Legend of the Suicide
We've got a 4 week gap, so next time is the 17th june. See you then!
