The book we are currently reading is 'Birdcage Walk' by Helen Dunmore.
Set at the same time as the French Revolution, Lizzie Fawkes has
recently married John Diner Tredevant. As a property developer who is
heavily investing in Bristol's housing boom he has everything to lose
from social upheaval and the prospect of war. Diner believes that
Lizzie's independent, questioning spirit must be coered and subdued as
she 'belongs to him' and she should live as he wants. It is a tense
drama of public and private violence, resistance and terror.
New members and/or past members would be most welcome. For any further
information contact Mary Cummings
