Downton Abbey – the Grand Finale

Our first movie night of the club year was a very intimate affair with only myself and a potential member attending. We went to the final Downton Abbey film, and while I enjoyed the film, maybe the film was part of the problem. Downton Abbey, a long running Netflix series, has 6 seasons and The Grand Finale is the 3rd film made which focuses on both the well-to-do Crawley family as well as their group of house & personal servants.

We had a wonderful start to our new season with the first Book Club meeting of the club year. There was a great turn out, filled with book club regulars as well as some new faces who joined for the first time. We discussed Butter by Asako Yuzuki, which gave us a lot to talk about.

The book is a thriller/mystery, which on the surface explores the relationship between a female journalist, Rika, and her subject, Manako Kajii, a woman accused of murdering multiple former lovers.

In the Month of the Midnight Sun

This time the dedicated TIC book club members ventured in the rain to a nearby village of Alphen to discuss a piece of Scandinavian noir, “In the month of the midnight sun” by Cecilia Ekbäck. Joined by some new faces, the book clubbers were eager to go over their reading experiences. Luckily most had finished the book, because it was impossible to avoid spoilers about the surprising plot twists in the last quarter of the book!
