This month's book is Girl, Woman, Other, by Bernardine Everisto. Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2019. Girl, Woman, Other follows the lives and struggles of twelve very different characters. Mostly women, black and British, they tell the stories of their families, friends and lovers, across the country and through the years. Joyfully polyphonic and vibrantly contemporary, this is a gloriously new kind of history, a novel of our times: celebratory, ever-dynamic and utterly irresistible.
The book group meets on the second Wednesday of each month, and is open to everyone, whether you've read the book or not.

Black Swan Green charts a year in the life of a sensitive boy apt to be bullied, who writes poems under the pen name Eliot Bolivar, but whose real name is Jason Taylor. He has a sister who leaves home to go to university and parents who eventually split up as it is discovered that the father has been having an affair.
