August’s Read: ‘The Painter’s Daughters’ by Emily Howes
A tender, coastal story of sibling ties and buried truths, The Painter’s Daughters is our August book club pick and it actually found me first. It was given to me as a gift from the mother of one of my tutoring students (who just happens to be friends with the author), and from page one it felt like fate.
June’s Read: ‘Intermezzo’ by Sally Rooney
Sally Rooney always sparks conversation, and Intermezzo will be no different. As our June book club pick, it delves into grief, sibling bonds, and self-discovery, guaranteeing a lively discussion at our next meeting.
How We Started
It started with a girl who loved books and a search for connection.
Back in Suffolk after uni, I felt isolated and unsure of my next steps, so in 2017, I started a book club. What began as a small gathering has grown into Words, Wine & Wit, with thriving chapters across Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and Hertfordshire.
More than just a space to talk books, it’s become a community where friendships form, conversations flow, and a good glass of wine is never far away.
