It was all change for Book Club in March. Instead of meeting at a member’s home they went to The Coastguard in Mousehole. The beautiful surroundings overlooking the coastal gardens were a world away from the inner city tower blocks and rural Bangladesh of the novel, which was Brick Lane by Monica Ali. The book scored highly, with eights and nines out of ten. Members particularly enjoyed the exploration of the two types of marriage that sisters Nazneen and Hasina embarked on; an arranged marriage for one and a love marriage for the other. Next month’s book will be ‘Normal People by Sally Rooney’. New members are most welcome.
