Book Club (Face to Face Meeting) - October

This month will be our first face to face meeting and we are discussing The Girls of Slender Means by Muriel Spark

The book club review will begin at 20.00-2200, but if you would like to eat first, some of us will be there at 1900, come and join us for a pub meal.

The May of Teck Club 'exists for the Pecuniary Convenience and Social Protection of Ladies of Slender Means below the age of Thirty Years'. Nevertheless, the members find time, between elocution lessons, to jostle one another over suitors and a single Schiaparelli gown. Can a love of literature, fine clothes and amorous young men save these young ladies from the horrors of the real world?

Spark’s novel explores the beauty and fragility of youth against the backdrop of war.

We have chosen this book from the Big Jubilee Read list, celebrating books from around the world from each decade of the Queen’s reign.

You can find more information about the books on the reading list on their website https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4RNfHvd2sxNlHDFFqzTGVKc/the-big-jubilee-read-2012-2022
