About this Event
Welcome to Banter Between Bookshelves February Book of the Month Meeting!
Whether you like to read physical books, digital books or listen to audiobooks, we encourage you to join us and fellow book lovers to discuss our latest read, listen to diverse perspectives and meet new people, in a fun, safe and supportive environment.
This month, we’ll be diving into How To K*ll Your Family by Bella Mackie, a darkly comic thriller that combines sharp humour with social satire. It follows Grace Bernard, a witty and unrepentant anti-heroine who, from her Pr*son cell, recounts how she murdered six members of her wealthy estranged father’s family as revenge for the way they abandoned her and her mother. The story is told in a bold, first-person voice that mixes deadpan humour with biting observations about class, privilege and family and even lands a twist when Grace finds herself jailed for a crime she didn’t commit.
