Staff Book Group

Our Staff Book Group met today to discuss our latest read, Louise Welsh's The Bullet Trick. We all enjoyed it, finding it quite dark in places. There was a general agreement that if we had not known that the author was a woman we would have thought it was a man. But this was a good thing as it worked perfectly for the story, and made the main, male character very believable. We also reckoned that if we had seen the book in a library or shop there's a good chance we wouldn't have picked it up thinking it wasn't our style, but in fact it proved hard to put down.

We chose The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney to read next.
