Staff Book Group

The Group met on 1st May to discuss 'Little Face' and decide on the next books. Most thought 'Little Face' was quite good as a quick page-turner. I found the ending to be a big let down though. After being led along by the mystery element of the plot it fizzled out and became a bit farcical!




The next book is 'In the Country of Men' by Hisham Matar. This is the story of a young boy growing up in Tripoli, Libya. Please post any running commentaries here (although don't give away anything that might spoil it for others!).


At the meeting we also chose the next book which will probably be the last of this term. 'Suite Francaise' by Irene Nemirovsky was written in Paris during WW2 but was only recently published to great acclaim.
