A book club with a difference. Each week a different tutor presents a work of literature from across the genres and facilitates a lively discussion. Literature offers us an alternative view of the world or an escape into the imaginations of the fiction writer and the poet. It creates characters we love or hate and challenges our perceptions.
The works which the group members are asked to read in advance and will be discussed are:
Week 1 - 29th January 2026
Tutor: Benjamin Parris
Work: The M**der of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
Week 2 - 5th February 2026
Tutor: Katie Donnelly
Work: Saints and Sinners by Edna O'Brien
Week 3 - 12th February 2026

Work: Killochries by Jim Carruth
Week 4 - 19th February 2026
