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?
- What were your initial impressions of Verity and Lowen? How do the two women compare?
- How did you feel about Lowen reading Verity’s personal memoirs?
- The memoirs make some shocking statements – how did you feel about that? Where did you feel that the story was going?
- What was the atmosphere like in the house as Lowen got further through the memoirs?
- What were your initial impressions of Jeremy? What did you feel he brought to the story, and how much control did you feel he had over how it panned out?
- How did you feel about the ending of the book? Did anything in particular stay with you afterwards?
- Does this remind you of any other stories you have read? Which ones? Why?
- What is the most important message that you took from this book?
- What are your feelings on the relationship that grew between Lowen and Jeremy? In what ways did it mirror the relationship with Jeremy and Verity, and how was it different?
- How do you think this would translate into a film?
- Would you recommend this to any friends? Who? Why?
