SUMMARY:The Book Club - Online
DESCRIPTION:This session of The Book Club will take place on Monday 27th of July from  7pm – 8pm via Zoom. This month\, we are reading Cooking in the Wrong Century by Teresa Praauer. £10.99 is the price of the book and a ticket to the session. The book can be delivered directly to you (please add your shipping address and tick the box for shipping) or you can collect it in store free of charge. You can buy a book and ticket here. \nIf you already own a copy of the book\, you can purchase a ticket alone for £3. You can purchase a ticket only here. \nFor those unable to afford a book or ticket at present\, we have a limited amount of complementary books/tickets. Please contact the bookshop via bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com or call 07597365380. \nOne of our booksellers will lead the book club\, and the group will be split up into smaller groups in breakout rooms to discuss the questions. \nWe always ask that you be respectful and kind whilst discussing the book and others’ opinions of it. \n  \nAbout the book \nFor the hostess\, food has always been about growing up. From the pancakes your grandmother made you\, dolloped with jam\, to the salty glug of your first oyster. Now\, poised at the brink of midlife\, the hostess prepares for a dinner party in her new apartment. With a hunger for the finer things in life\, she folds linen napkins into neat triangles\, arranges wildflowers for the table and puts on a jazz playlist the projects effortless cool. \nBut her composure begins to falter when her guests arrive drunk and late\, downing bottles of her perfectly cooled wine and trailing water over the floor. Here comes the chain-smoking professor who never says the right thing\, the husband glued to his smartphone\, the wife who makes a secret pass at your boyfriend. As small talk and social preening give way to sexual tension and lost inhibitions\, the hostess struggles to maintain control over an evening far beyond her wildest imaginings.
