It follows two women from different worlds: Ellen Thomas, a seasoned war correspondent investigating the M**der of her translator, and Hasina, a village wife and mother determined to protect her son, who is drawn into underground resistance.

David and Rob do the online session.We plan events two months out: if you cannot make the next event look through the list of forthcoming meetings to see if a subsequent date is more convenient.In addition we regularly attend The Roundhouse pub quiz as a team and have enjoyed days out including the British Library, the Reading Room of the British Museum and the Dickens Museum. If there is something bookish in London that you have always wanted to visit, we might be the Group for you!Note that the number of registered attendees for an event isn't a great guide to the number that will join us. Many regulars get the book, read it, then sign up to come along in the days before our meeting. We are typically six or seven on the night for the in-person events at The Roundhouse.Please bring an idea for next month's book (which you haven't already read!), and we'd love to see you there.Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about how it works.South London Book Club" } ] } ] ```
