There were only five of us there but as usual there was no break in the chat! Three of us had read Queenie and thought it was on the whole more humorous than the Harold Fry book and it has an unexpected twist at the end that none of us had seen coming. None of us had read 44 Scotland Street but one of us had read one of the Sunday Philosophy Club series and thought it was good. Some other books mentioned were - Witness by Kath Staincliffe, Glass Blower of Verona (didn't get the author!), The Return by Victoria Hislop (which I enjoyed a lot more than The Sunrise!). also books by Ken Follet were mentioned.
Chat wasn't only about books of course and subjects ranged from cats, Strictly and Great British Bake Off. We decided that since our next meeting was the Christmas meal that we would catch up on books that we haven't managed to read throughout the year and of course bring a wrapped book for the Secret Santa book!
Big thank you to Frances for the lovely spread and hospitality.
