Ready to Join?

As Agnes and I both have our birthdays at the end of August we thought we would celebrate by combining our book choices this year with ( weather permitting ) a picnic in the park.

Agnes's book choice is The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling.
First published in Protected content , it was her first book for adults after the Harry Potter series.
The story begins with the sudden death of Barry Fairbrother which leaves an empty seat on the parish council - a " Casual Vacancy " triggering a fierce election that exposes the town's tensions between rich and poor and teenagers and parents.

My choice is Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrel.
A bestselling historical novel published in Protected content .
The novel imagines the life and death of Hamnet,the only son of William Shakespeare. The story weaves between past and present. Shakespeare's courtship and the illness that claimed his son.

Two great books. We hope you will join us and please bring something to eat and drink.
If the weather is bad we will meet at the Ruby Marie Hotel and Bar instead.
