The St Margaret's House Book Club will next meet on Monday 16th September at 6.30 pm, when we will be sharing thoughts on Françoise Sagan's Bonjour Tristesse.

About the book:

Bonjour Tristesse is the story of seventeen-year-old Cécile, and one long, hot summer that will change her life. 

Cécile leads a golden, carefree existence with her widowed playboy father and his mistresses. On holiday on the French Riviera, she is seduced by the sun, the sand and her first lover. But when her father decides to remarry, their perfect world becomes clouded by tragedy. 

For 2024, we've chosen not to have a specific theme. For 2024 we will alternate between two themes - animal narrators, and genre fiction (a different genre for each of the 6 months of this theme) 

For those wishing to get a head start, our October book will be The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, our November book will be You People by Nikita Lalwani and our December book will be The Mouse and his Child by Russell Hoban
