The next book meeting will take place on 14th February (7-8.30pm) and we will be reviewing
The Blackwater Lightship by Colm Toibin. (272 pages)
In Blackwater in the early 1990s, three women - Dora Devereux, her daughter Lily and her granddaughter Helen - have come together after years of strife and reached an uneasy truce. Helen's adored brother Declan is dying. Two friends join him and the women in a crumbling old house by the sea, where the six of them, from different generations and with different beliefs, must listen and come to terms with one another.
