THE BOOK CLUB BOOK This poetic book is really memorable - the story of an autistic mother and free-spirited daughter whose lives change when a charming new couple move in next door. The mother, Sunday Forrester, is neuro-diverse - she doesn't understand the world in the way that most people do, for example sometimes being compelled to only eat white foods. Social situations are confusing for her, despite reading her etiquette handbook of how people should behave. Another source of how things should be comes from her mother's family - the folk stories from her Sicilian heritage. Sunday lives with her sixteen-year-old daughter, Dolly, her clever, independent-minded, teenage daughter. Into this world come Vita and Rollo, their new next door neighbours. With their elegance and charm what impact will they have on the structured and controlled world that Sunday has created? And what will be the impact on Dolly, and the relationship between mother and daughter, especially since Vita has always wanted a daughter like Dolly... *LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2023* *SHORTLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 2024* 'Delicate and strong...

Each week you read some chapters, discuss them in class and improve specific areas of vocabulary or grammar while also examining literary aspects of the novel. Personalised feedback improves your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. THE BOOK CLUB BOOK Where the Crawdads* Sing tells the story of sensitive and intelligent Kya Clark who lives outside society in the marshlands (* a crawdad is an American word for a freshwater crayfish - like a large prawn!) When in late 1969, Chase Andrews is found dead, the local people instinctively suspect the marsh girl of the crime. But Kya is not an ignorant wild child - she is a born naturalist, who has learnt about life from nature. But Kya starts to need the company of others and the novel asks how isolation influences the behaviour of this young woman. Thought-provoking, moving, and wise, Owens helps us to remember that child we once were and the shaping that happens as we grow up, in a background of the constantly changing natural world. But the book is also a murder mystery. Highly recommended! "A rare achievement" The Times "Vivid and original" The Guardian "A painfully beautiful first novel" The New York Times Book Review Geoff says: > "This is a very interesting book to discuss. It is a historical novel set in > the 1950s and 60s with two parallel narrative time lines. The book is hard to > classify - is it a coming of age story? A murder mystery? A meditation on > nature and our place in it? The truth is that it is all of these. Readers > around the world have fallen in love with this, the debut best-selling novel > from Delia Owens who spent many years as a wildlife scientist in Africa."

Personalised feedback improves your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. THE BOOK CLUB BOOK This is a lovely, quiet sort of book about a small town girl getting a chance to change her life. Ireland in the early 1950s is difficult, and for Eilis Lacey, as for other Irish girls, opportunities are limited. So when she gets a chance to emigrate to New York, she has to go. This is a story of love and of duty. It's a powerful portrait of a woman making decisions that will shape her whole life, told in a simple, elegant style. With this elating and humane novel, Colm Tóibín has produced a masterwork ― Sunday Times The most compelling and moving portrait of a young woman I have read in a long time -- Zoë Heller ― Guardian, Books of the Year Suffused with humane depth, funny, affecting, deftly plotted ... a novel of magnificent accomplishment -- Peter Kemp ― Sunday Times, Novel of the Year Geoff says: > "Colm Tóibín is one of the great Irish modern writers. Brooklyn, set in Colm > Tóibín's home town, was the winner of the Costa Novel Award, and has been made > into a much loved film starring Saoirse Ronan - but as usual the book is > better!"
