BOOK #2 A Family Matter by Claire Lynch
READING ROOM is a community book club for young people in London.
We're back at Bard Books in East London for our second session, where there is a full-service bar.
Our next book is Nero Prize winning novel A FAMILY MATTER by Claire Lynch (224 pages), in which a lesbian love affair resurfaces decades later when a young woman receives a letter that forces her to confront the truth behind her mother’s disappearance.
“The judges all loved A Family Matter. We admired its wry humour, its deft storytelling, and its love for all its characters, even those who behave in ways we find hard to understand, and who make choices which we would regard as morally questionable. It is both readable and intelligent, and it offers hope and consolation. We believe that this novel will be read and thought about for years to come”
- Nick Hornby, author and Chair of Judges at the Nero Prize
