Bookworms

by Bernard Farrell

It is Ann’s turn to host , and a decision has been taken to allow "the men" attend. The resulting clash not only exposes hidden lives, deceptions and indiscretions, but also highlights social and financial misadventures that had long been swept under the carpet or thought to reside only between the covers of Book Club novels.
