** Big News **  Deborah Install, the author of this book will be joining the group by zoom! If you'd like to come along to the session - please arrive at the Library for 7pm.  All welcome, whether or not you've read the book which is a warm-hearted fable of a stay-at-home husband who learns an important lesson in life when an unusual creature enters his life.

With all the charm and humour of THE ROSIE PROJECT and ABOUT A BOY mingled with the heart-swelling warmth of PADDINGTON BEAR MOVIE.  A story of the greatest friendship ever assembled.

Ben Chambers wakes up to find something rusty and lost underneath the willow tree in his garden. Refusing to throw it on the skip as his wife Amy advises, he takes it home. 

All welcome. Meetings are held at the library. If you are interested in joining us, please just pop along or feel free to email or message us via Facebook

Diana Jager is clever, strong and successful, a skilled surgeon and fierce campaigner via her blog about sexism. Yet it takes only hours for her life to crumble when her personal details are released on the internet as revenge for her writing.

Then she meets Peter. He's kind, generous, and knows nothing about her past: the second chance she's been waiting for.

Within six months, they are married. Within six more, Peter is dead in a road accident, a nightmare end to their fairytale romance.

But Peter's sister Lucy doesn't believe in fairytales, and tasks maverick reporter Jack Parlabane with discovering the dark truth behind the woman the media is calling Black Widow.

In the darkness we all need a little light . . .After Mike loses Pia, his partner of seventeen years, her best friends Vicky and Zaza try to help pick up the pieces. But though Pia's gone, she left a plan. A list of love and instructions to hold Mike and her best friends together. And they're each going to need it. Just-engaged Zaza fears committing any further. Mum Vicky can't see a way past her kids and back to her career. While Mike just feels lost without the love of his life. But when the list sends them to Peru, where high mountains and sweltering rain forest take them to the brink,
all they have to guide them is their faith in Pia's instructions and themselves.
