1980s | Chichester Book Club

At Chichester Book Club there’s an ever growing choice of books for individual readers and reading groups alike.

This summer saw the launch of Mail on Sunday Novel Competition winner Isabel Ashdown’s latest novel Hurry Up and Wait, in which 39-year-old Sarah Ribbons reluctantly revisits past mistakes as she prepares for a reunion at her old high school on the South coast of England.

In November, Gabrielle Kimm’s The Courtesan’s Lover hits the shelves, a spin off from her debut novel His Last Duchess and a return to her captivating renaissance Italy. Opening chapters of The Courtesan’s Lover were shortlisted for the Impress Prize for Fiction.

And one to look forward to in 2012 is Rook, the second spellbinding novel from IMPAC Literary Award nominee Jane Rusbridge. Telling a story of family, legacy and turning back the tides in the ancient Sussex village of Bosham, Rook explores the mystery surrounding Harold II’s burial place.
