The Reading Group

A New Year. A New Page. A New Reading Group.

Five women meet for their first reading group, little realising this social gathering over books and glasses of wine might see them share more than literary debate � and will, in fact, take each of them to places they�d never imagined.

Harriet and Nicole are the ringleaders, best friends who can�t quite admit � to themselves or one other � they might be trapped in loveless marriages. While Polly, a determined single mum, finds herself tipped off course by an unexpected proposal. Susan, usually so carefree and happy, is forced to face a shattering reality and Clare, quiet and mysterious, plainly has more on her mind than next week�s book choice.

Over the coming year their worlds will intertwine in delightful, unexpected and surprising ways. Stories will be re-written as dreams are made and broken, but through it all they�ll have the Reading Group, with friendship, tears and laughter featuring in every chapter of their lives.
