 The Burrow Book Club - 17th and 23rd October

What we thought:
Unanimous agreement that this book is a wonderful read. We gave it one of the highest scores amongst our club reads to date. Very funny, clever and a great escape to the country - even deeper and darker than here in West Devon!

The next meetings of the Burrow Book Club are Wednesday 23rd October at 8.00 pm and Thursday, 17th October at 2.30 pm.  We are reading Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons.

This book was winner of the 1933 Femina Vie Heureuse Price, and is a wickedly funny portrait of British rural life in the 1930s.  Flora Poste, a recently orphaned socialite, moves in with her country relatives, the gloomy Starkadders of Cold Comfort Farm, and becomes enmeshed in a web of violent emotions, despair and scheming, until Flora manages to set things right.

New members are always welcome to join our friendly group.  Evening session £2 includes a glass of wine.

    In December 2001 the village shop and post office in Exbourne with Jacobstowe in rural West Devon closed. This meant that villagers would have to make a journey of at least 5 miles each way to reach the nearest town for shops and services. Now after 10 years of hard work and fund raising the village has its own shop and cafe and its underground.
    Welcome to The Burrow!
