Our Book Club had a wonderful evening on Monday , welcoming Tom O’Brien, author of The Curlew’s Cry, who kindly took the time to pop in and have a chat with us.
It was a lovely opportunity to pick his brains and hear more about where the inspiration for the story came from. Tom shared how a mixture of his own life experiences, along with stories and ideas that had grown within him over the years, helped shape this brilliant book.
The Curlew’s Cry is dark, captivating and a fantastic read. If you haven't had a chance to pick it up yet, we would highly recommend adding it to your reading list. Be warned, though – once you get into it, you'll find it hard to put down as the twists and turns draw you further and further into the story!
And there's an extra special reason to support this book. All proceeds go to Sunflower Children's Hospice, so by buying a copy, you're not only treating yourself to a great read but also supporting a wonderful charity.
A huge thank you to Tom for joining us and making the evening so enjoyable. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your stories and insights with us.
Our Book Club normally meets on the last Monday of every month, and we'd love to welcome some new faces!
