Description

We look back over the ten books we read for bookclub in 2020. From Taffy Brodesser-Akner's snappy take on contemporary relationships with Fleishman is in Trouble, to The Memory Police, Yoko Ogawa's carefully considered look at memory and the objects that bring meaning to our lives, we read and discussed a wide range of books that we're delighted to go back and revisit – like seeing old friends. But which will be our book club book of the year? On the shortlist: Fleishman is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang  That Glimpse of Truth, 100 of the Finest Short Stories Ever Written The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa Lanny by Max Porter Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld  Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan If you’d like to see what we’re up to between episodes follow us on Instagram or Facebook @BookClubReview podcast, on Twitter @bookclubrvwpod or email thebookclubreview@gmail.com.

Kate and Laura on the books that get you talking. Every episode we sit down to chat about the books read most recently by our book clubs. What did we make of them? Did they spark debate? And whether we loved them or loathed them, we always try to answer the big question: were they great book club books?
