Friday’s Receipt from the Bookshop is always free, but paid subscribers get an additional post every week with reviews, round-ups, discussions and, like today, a book club post.

This post is for my paid subscribers. I’ll be back in the bookshop on Friday to tell you all about my day in the Receipt from the Bookshop, free for all to read.
