We look back over the ten books we read for bookclub in 2020. From Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s snappy take on contemporary relationships with Fleishman is in Trouble, to The Memory Police, Yoko Ogawa’s carefully considered look at memory and the objects that bring meaning to our lives. We read and discussed a wide range of books that we’re delighted to go back and revisit – like seeing old friends. But which will be our book club book of the year?
