Thank you Kate for a lovely relaxing evening last night.  It would be fair to say all enjoyed it and we were happy to have an honourary member join near the end!  

The next book to read is the Alchemist and it’s just over 200 pages – so get your copies if you haven’t already done so as the next meeting is only 3 weeks away.  That will be on 17th July, at Sally’s home. 

The read over summer was scheduled to be Little Stranger, Sarah Waters but there has been some interest in Fifty Shades of Grey – so we could swap if wished and can confirm at the next meeting – it certainly would be a different genre for the club!    M x

This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom points Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transformation power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
