Join us for a delightful afternoon at our book club, conveniently located at The George Dereham, Tuesday 24th June at 2pm.

This month's book club selection is "Brighton Rock" by Graham Greene, a gripping novel that explores the moral complexities of good and evil through the experiences of its young anti-hero, Pinkie Brown. Set in the seaside town of Brighton, the story intertwines themes of violence, faith, and redemption, inviting readers to navigate the tumultuous landscape of Pinkie's troubled mind.

As we dive into the text, pay close attention to Greene's vivid characterisation and how the social setting of the 1930s influences the narrative. Pinkie’s struggle for power and respect in a world filled with corruption and fear makes for a compelling read. Take note of the contrast between his ruthless nature and the innocence of other characters, such as Rose, who become entangled in his dangerous schemes.

Consider how Greene's exploration of moral ambiguity raises important questions about choice, fate, and the consequences of one's actions. This week, we encourage you to reflect on these themes and how they resonate not only within the book but also in our lives.

Looking forward to our discussion on this intriguing masterpiece!
