It was my first book club experience. Normally if I talk about a book that I’m
reading, extolling the wonders of the written word, people’s eyes glaze over -
it’s a very one sided conversation. Not so at book club, sitting on squashy
leather sofas in a café in Belfast, waitress on hand to supply tea, coffee, and
caramel squares, whatever a book club attendee may require for his or her
comfort.
