This month we’re reading seasonal classic The Fortnight in September by R.C. Sherriff.
The book’s premise is brilliantly simple and filled with charming detail. It follows Mr. Stevens, an office clerk, his sweet but nervous wife Flossie, and their three children—Dick, who works for an auctioneer; Mary, a dressmaker’s assistant; and schoolboy Ernie—as they ready themselves for their summer holiday and take the train from London to the coast, where romance, adventure and freedom from humdrum work await them.
We’ll meet for the book club in the shop on Wednesday 5 October @ 7pm – everyone is welcome and we encourage newcomers, just drop us an email at orders@paradesendbooks.co.uk to come along!
