Our book group choice for March 2026 is TonyInterruptor by Nicola Barker. In a dimly lit Canterbury jazz club, trumpeter Sasha Keyes is deep in a fearless improvisational solo when the unthinkable happens: a middle-aged man stands up and politely asks, “Is this honest? Are we all being honest here?”
Our book group choice for February 2026 is The Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald. Set in 1959 in the damp, windswept Suffolk coastal town of Hardborough, The Bookshop is a clinical, unsentimental examination of how a small, entrenched community reacts to an outsider’s modest ambition. The outsider is Florence Green, a middle-aged widow with a small inheritance and a quiet resolve.
