At each meeting
we have an informal discussion about the latest book (they becomes much more informal as the evening progresses – due to
the consumption of wine and nibbles!). These discussions are lively and
thought-provoking.
Books are provided via Crosby Library's reading group list. |

| We are reading "Dominion" by C J Sansom and plan to meet in October 2017. About the book: Twelve years have passed since Churchill lost to the appeasers and Britain surrendered to Nazi Germany after Dunkirk. As the long German war against Russia rages on in the east, the British people find themselves under dark authoritarian rule. Defiance, though, is growing. Winston Churchill's Resistance organisation is increasingly a thorn in the government's side. And in Birmingham mental hospital an incarcerated scientist, Frank Muncaster, may hold a secret that could change the balance of the world struggle for ever. Civil Servant David Fitzgerald, secretly acting as a spy for the Resistance, must rescue his old friend Frank and get him out of the country. Before long he, together with a disparate group of Resistance activists, will find themselves fugitives in the midst of London's Great Smog; as David's wife Sarah finds herself drawn into a world more terrifying than she ever would have imagined. And hard on their heels is Gestapo Sturmbannfuhrer Gunther Hoth, brilliant, implacable hunter of men..... | |
