Join us at Wygston’s House for a friendly and light-hearted monthly book club.

We will be in one of the two side rooms, ask at the bar, or leave a comment and we can meet you at the bar/entrance.

APRIL'S BOOK - MRS ENGLAND BY STACEY HALLS. Ideally complete the book before the event, but if you haven’t finished it, you’re welcome to come along anyway. However, we will be discussing the whole book, so there might be some spoilers.

We very much look forward to seeing you there.

Synopsis: West Yorkshire, 1904. When newly graduated nurse Ruby May takes a position looking after the children of Charles and Lilian England, a wealthy couple from a powerful dynasty of mill owners, she hopes it will be the fresh start she needs. But as she adapts to life at the isolated Hardcastle House, it becomes clear there's something not quite right about the beautiful, mysterious Mrs England.

Distant and withdrawn, Lilian shows little interest in her children or charming husband, and is far from the 'angel of the house' Ruby was expecting. As the warm, vivacious Charles welcomes Ruby into the family, a series of strange events forces her to question everything she thought she knew. Ostracised by the servants and feeling increasingly uneasy, Ruby must face her demons in order to prevent history from repeating itself. After all, there's no such thing as the perfect family - and she should know.
