A Book Club is always a good way to bond with those people who share your love of books, but occasionally the group needs a little prompting on discussion topics to get the conversation flowing. Please find below a few ideas to get things started.
- What were you expecting from the book to start with? Did the book meet your expectations? If not, what was different?
- How did you feel about the ending of the book? Were you surprised?
- How do you feel the setting effected the story for you as a reader, and for Kya as a character?
- Was Kya right to isolate herself further? Is it better if it is a choice, rather than something that is done to her?
- Was there a point in the book that touched you more than the rest of the book? What did it mean to you?
- Is there anybody who you strongly feel should read this book?
- Who is the most important character to you after Kya?
- Who, if anyone, really loved Kya? How did they show it, and how did she understand that?
- What is your opinion on Kyas mother leaving?
- Was Jumpin right not to help the Social Services to find Kya?
- If you could pick a moment in the book to have witnessed firsthand, which one would it have been?
- How did you feel about the poetry that Kya remembers and recites throughout the book? Did you recognise any of them? How did you find it enhanced the story?
- Kya spends a lot of time observing people from a distance. What did she feel/ learn from this?
- How do you feel that this book will translate into a film? Will you be watching it?
