Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Birmingham?
The concept is simple. We’re a global book club for likeminded women to discuss great books! All members of the book club read the same book over the same period; members then meet up in their respective cities at the end of each month to discuss the book and exchange views.

About the book
What we are reading in May: Lost & Found by Kathryn Schulz
Eighteen months before Kathryn Schulz’s father died, she met the woman she would marry.
In Lost & Found, she weaves the story of those relationships into a brilliant exploration of the role that loss and discovery play in all of our lives. The resulting book is part memoir, part guidebook to living in a world that is simultaneously full of wonder and joy and wretchedness and suffering–a world that always demands both our gratitude and our grief.
A staff writer at The New Yorker and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Schulz writes with curiosity, tenderness, erudition, and wit about our finite yet infinitely complicated lives. Lost & Found is an enduring account of love in all its many forms from one of the great writers of our time.

Hi,
I would love to hear more information, when a new host for Birmingham UK has been found. I don’t have capacity myself with an extremely busy work life, but this sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for!
We will be sure to let you know!
Hi there, this group sounds perfect and I hope you can find a new host soon! Please do let me know when it’s up and running again!
