Book group 25th October: CHANGE OF VENUE! The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James

sophie

The next Stroud Green Book Group book is The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James (1881).

We've given ourselves six weeks for this one as it's longer than usual (~530pp). There's an Audible version ready by Juliet Stevenson and another read by John Wood!

We will meet on *Weds 25th October at 8pm* AT A MEMBER'S HOUSE - please text Sophie on 07793022365 for details.

Newbies/drop-ins/old faces all welcome, as usual.

Great choice. Looking forward to this one!

Coincidentally, John Banville has written a 'sequel' to this book, called Mrs Osmond, which will be published next week.

Spoiler alerts for the original book if you read the blurb! Double points if you manage to read both books before the 25th

Ye gads! But if we enjoy Portrait of a Lady it could be a good future read for the book group.

We have a last minute change of venue. Book club members please check your emails. We are assuming that there are no new people planning to turn up tonight, so if that's wrong please let us know.
