DECEMBER Book Club - Monthly Get Together
Details
Our book for 🎅DECEMBER🎅 is:
The Christmas Guest
By Peter Swanson
A novella - December is a busy month so a 'shorty' very welcome.
Hoping for a good Christmassy read! 🎅
🎄🌟 Don't forget we'll be staying on after the discussion to enjoy a drop of Xmas cheer & a bite to eat.🎄🌟🎄
An American art student in London is invited to join a classmate for the holidays at Starvewood Hall, her family's Cotswold manor house. But behind the holly and pine boughs, secrets are about to unravel, revealing this seemingly charming English village's grim history.
Over thirty years later the events of that horrific week are revisited, along with a diary from that time. What began in a small English village in 1989 reaches its ghostly conclusion in modern-day New York, many Christmas seasons later.

A big welcome to all!
The Phoenix Monthly Book Club is for everyone to enjoy - seasoned 'book clubbers' and those new to the idea - all will be made very welcome.
Come and join our relaxed, friendly group!
Our aim is to choose some really good reads and have lively times together discussing the chosen book of the month in a respectful manner.
The reading list will be compiled from members' suggestions and will reflect our differing tastes. It will be great to challenge ourselves with genres or writing styles we may not usually think to go for - we won't all like every book, but it will be fun to discover!
You'll be responsible for sourcing your own copy of the monthly book - borrow from the library, buy second hand, download or Kindle etc - whatever works best for you.
