The Return by Victoria Hislop

We met at The Drum on Monday 25th August. Owing to the summer season book group was a smaller then usual gathering. Our enthusiasm was not dulled by this.

We discussed ‘The Return’ by Victoria Hislop. There was agreement that we had all enjoyed the novel. An outstanding facet of the book was that it had a life changing quality. We were informed about the politics and lived experience of the Spanish Civil War through one family. The divisions of a brutal war changed the Spaniards hopes and aspirations forever.

We will meet again on the last Monday of the month, the 29th September 2014. We are going to discuss ‘Saturday’ By Ian McEwan.
