#141 - Small Pleasures - Clare Chambers (Choice: Gill C)(Venue: Zoom)

September 9th, 2021

Present: Jen, Sabine, Gill F, Nic

My first draft said I hadn’t read this because everyone had panned it. Now I have to edit it. Damn Kindle - I can barely remember what I’ve read and what I haven’t! Well, it is either Kindle or old age. I am starting to feel like the protagonist in Elizabeth is Missing.  

Universally revered by everyone here and, via What’s App, by Nat who declared it a “9/10 book”, “slick”, “dry humour”, “identifiable” and “LOVED IT”. Now that I’ve worked out which book it is, I agree with everything she says. A heart-warming story of adultery, rape, and rail disaster.
