BOOK LOVERS GROUP
Book: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Venue: Sheraton Hotel, Exchange Bar
|
|
Join us at the popular SBC Book Club. Enjoy lively
discussions over a drink or two. Whether you are an avid reader
or would like to read more, you'll love our relaxed group.
The book we'll
be talking about this month is The Time Traveler's Wife
by Audrey Niffenegger.
"Every once in a blue moon a novel turns up which has a magic
all of its own. [It was] heralded by Dan Franklin, publishing
director of Cape, as a book "everyone falls in love with". How
right he is. It's the story of Henry and Claire, who meet when
Claire is aged six and Henry in his 30s. They were married when
Claire was 20 and Henry 28, which is possible because Henry can
time travel. It is not science fiction, but a love story with a
difference - a wonderful, strange and original novel which is
both moving and funny - you must get a copy and read it. I can't
praise it too highly."
Optional light meal available for around £10 (decide on
the day).

outside The Dome (bar) in George Street on Sunday morning to arrange

it at George Street
