what book should I pick for my book group?

[EmmaGrundyForPM]

It's my turn to pick the next book and I'm stuck. We're an all-female book group, most of us in our 50s. Recent books we've enjoyed include Uncommon Ground, Small Pleasures and Still Life. Lessons in Chemistry got a mixed reception. We all hated Crawdads.

We like books that we can analyse and which raise lots of themes/questions.

Any suggestions?

Thanks @hanahsaunt. We did Ten Minutes a couple of months ago so The Island of Missing Trees is a bit too soon.

I'll add Station 11 to the possibles list

Thanks @Cotswoldmama I do have a Good Reads account so will look you up on there.

A Little Life by hanya yanagihara is a brilliant read and would certainly give you plenty to discuss.

Burial Rites was one I was trying to remember, really good book Club book.

Middlesex (by Jeffrey Eugenides?) would be good too.

Like how we are all doing the same books 😄

Is Burial Rites the one set in Iceland, about the female murderer? In which case we did it a few years ago. It was very good.

Yes, that’s the one - based on the true story of the last woman to be executed in Iceland.
