Meeting once a month from November to June, group members select novels written in English during the twentieth and early twenty first century. Together we consider their significance today and at the time when they were published. The aim is to range widely through the 1900s (and up to 2010) and to include literature from a variety of cultural backgrounds. We shall start in November by discussing 'Housekeeping' by Marilynne Robinson (1980). Those who are allocated places should come prepared. In December we shall discuss 'The Road Home' by Rose Tremain (2007). All the remaining novels for the year to June 2026 are based on members' suggestions which the group votes on in November. Voting is by category to ensure a spread across time and place. Links to other material about each selected book are provided.
