Sotonettes Book Club

Welcome to the Sotonettes’ Book Club!

The next meeting will be on 20 August, when will be reviewing ‘Between the Two Wars’ – Diary of a Provincial Lady’ by EM Delafield

We will be back in the Maritimo Lounge, in Ocean Village from 7pm -9pm.

The Sotonettes Book Club is for Sotonettes members and our invited guests and normally meets on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 7pm – 9pm (except during December).

Our Book Club has a general ‘female’ theme such as female authors and leading characters, and we are always open to suggestions! We plan on mixing things up a bit, from classics to contemporary, across a range of genres.

We don’t mind if you haven’t finished the book, seen a film version, or are just curious to find out more.

If you have any questions then you can drop a message to Penny by emailing her at sotonettes@gmail.com
