Book Club Suggestions

Looking for suggestions for book club reads after the summer. We plan well in advance as many of us leave China during the summer and it's an opportunity to buy books in our home countries or at Hong Kong airport.

Previous reads include:
We need to talk about Kevin
Cutting for Stone
Infidel
Room
Little Bee
Hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet
Thousand autumns of Jacob de Zoet
People of the book
The marriage plot
Wuthering Heights

I usually find some good suggestions on the Lit Lovers website, but nothing inspired me today.

Thanks

Lucky Break by Esther Freud was one of the MN book club books and it was an alright read.

Along the same vein as Wuthering Heights, I quite liked Jane Eyre or The Picture of Dorian Grey.

My Dear I Wanted To Tell You by Louisa Young. It's set in and around the First World War. A beautifully written novel which I read recently and loved.

Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson is one I read recently, and I couldn't put it down.

Still Alice by Lisa Genova too.
