Book group met to discuss ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Monday 22nd April 2013.

This is essentially a short story as opposed to a novel.  The narrative follows a woman’s descent into insanity.  We discussed at length if she was driven to insanity through oppression and stifling of her creativity, or was her distress a chemical imbalance?
We all agreed it was a good read, even if a little disturbing.

We will next meet on Monday 20th May 2013 at 7.30 in The Drum.

We are going to discuss ‘Bitter Lemons of Cyprus’ by Lawrence Durrell.
