A monthly book club - meet and chat to talk about the book of the month, with the option to stay on after for a drink and general chat if people would like to 🙂.
BOOK TO BE DISCUSSED IN SEPTEMBER 2025 IS:
"Gabriel's Moon" by William Boyd
"An accidental spy. A web of betrayals. A mystery that will take you around the world . . .
Gabriel Dax is a young man haunted by the memories of a tragedy: every night, when sleep finally comes, he dreams about his childhood home in flames. His days are spent on the move as an acclaimed travel writer, capturing changing landscapes in the grip of the Cold War. When he’s offered the chance to interview a political figure, his ambition leads him unwittingly into the shadows of espionage.
As Gabriel’s reluctant initiation takes hold, he is drawn deeper into duplicity. Falling under the spell of Faith Green, an enigmatic and ruthless MI6 handler, he becomes ‘her spy’, unable to resist her demands. But amid the peril, paranoia and passion consuming Gabriel’s new covert life, it will be the revelations closer to home that change the rest of his story . ."
We will meet in the lobby seated area of The Architect in central Bath to discuss the book and our thoughts , alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks are available for purchase.
