    Book Club - A Town Like Alice

    03/04/2026 | 33 mins.
    We've made it to our eleventh book club edition! We've been inundated with emails for this one, so thank you so much for your engagement. There have been mixed thoughts about Nevil Shute's proper yarn, 'A Town Like Alice'... Plus, the fab Laura Hackett, deputy literary editor and fiction editor across both The Sunday Times and The Times, joins to share her thoughts and bring a touch of class (and a slightly questionable accent...).

    Thank you so much for your engagement and interaction. We hope you'll join us for the next one.
