A Book, a Jug of Wine and Thou

Meet me at the book grocerEveryone's welcome to our book club.  We meet at the book grocer Northcote on the first Wednesday of every month (check the sidebar for next meeting time).

If you would like to be part of our book club simply pick up a copy of this month's book from the  Northcote or Brunswick stores and send Jen an email.

We welcome new members, those who read voraciously and those who would like a reason to read regularly.  We'll be selecting the novel for the following month at each meeting from a shortlist.  


 This Month's Book (Mtg 24 March 7.30pm)

 Restless by William Boyd (HB$15, PB$10)

RestlessSally Gilmartin can’t escape her past. Living in the idyllic English countryside in 1976, Sally is haunted by her experiences during the Second World War. She also suspects someone is trying to kill her. With mounting fear, Sally confides with her daughter Ruth; a woman struggling with her own past. Sally drops a bombshell. She is actually Eva Delectorskaya, a Russian émigré recruited as a spy by the British prior to the Second World War. For the past thirty years, Eva has led a second life hiding from the ghosts of her past. Through Eva’s life, William Boyd asks the intriguing question — How well do we truly know someone? From the Hardcover edition.
