Barrington Book Club, The: Small Town Romance

A warm-hearted story that also generously highlights novels written by other authors. There is so much to enjoy in this tale of friendship and love. Uniquely Australian, yet told in a companionable style, reminiscent of Maeve Binchy. Julie, Goodreads, Amazon.

Twelve books, nine friends, four babies and one unimaginable tragedy that will change their small town forever.

The Barrington girl-posse is back.

With friendship ties stronger than ever and often hilarious girl-banter, the women we know and love spontaneously begin a book club. Yes, it’s about reading books, but it’s also a way to ensure they catch up, altogether, one night per month. Leaving little ones with their menfolk, book club becomes the place to share fun and laughter along with hopes, dreams, secrets and fears. And lots of coffee, wine and food.

Over the course of a year, twelve books are read, four babies are born, relationships grow, businesses change and newcomers arrive. But when tragedy strikes one of their own, their small-town world is spun off its axis.

Now book club is more than girl-chat and paperbacks. It’s where they share their grief and help their small town recover.
