We have some great book club English courses coming up. These are for five weeks starting in the week beginning from 26th June.

There are two books are for participants at upper-intermediate and above.  One is Mr Wilder and Me - a story by British writer Jonathan Coe about the famous Hollywood film director Billy Wilder and the making of his penultimate movie, Fedora.  The second is The Truth about Melody Browne by British writer Lisa Jewell.  Lisa Jewell mainly wrote about relationships before this novel, but this one is a mystery about a woman finding out about her unknown past - highly recommended!

At advanced level there is also a mystery in "Elizabeth is Missing" - two in fact!  This is a novel that I ran a book club on in earlier in the year which was very well liked.  It tells the story a Maud, a lady with dementia who uncovers secrets in her past and in her present.  This is a most unusual and gripping thriller. Another mystery is Spies - the famous novel by renowned writer Michael Frayn.  In this book, wartime secrets are exposed through the eyes of children.  This is a great book, by a great writer.

Also touching on the second world war is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - another book club from earlier this year.  This book has a powerful and immensely likeable heroine in Juliet who becomes obsessed with the people in the book club in Guernsey that she hears about.  This book is full of literary references as well as having a great story full of historically accurate detail about the Nazi occupation of The Channel Islands.

Finally there are three classics.  The Awakening is a piece of early feminist writing by the American writer Kate Chopin which centres on a woman discovering herself and deciding what she wants in life.  The Garden Party and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Katherine Mansfield whose centenary is taking place this year.  She is incredibly important and influential writer, despite her untimely death aged 34.  And, last but not least is J.D. Salinger's seminal work The Catcher In The Rye.  This is a much loved and widely read story which is one of those stories that you just have to read, at least once!
