NHFT virtual book club meeting #34 - Christ on a Bike

After our visit to Warwickshire and the company of an AI detective in the excellent In the Blink of an Eye, we are off to Wales with Orla Owen's off-beat, twisty psychological story of envy, materialism and toxicity, Christ on a Bike

When Cerys Jones, a middle-aged office-worker, comes into an unexpected inheritance, her life is appears to be getting an upgrade. Leaving the drudgery of her London life behind for a designer place on the Welsh coast, with nothing to do but relax and enjoy a luxury lifestyle.

Of course it isn't that simple and there are rules. Three simple rules that have to be followed at all times.

She cannot share her wealth with anyone and visitors may stay for no longer than three days at a time. All financial aspects of her life will be scrutinised by the inheritance lawyers.

Her younger sister is jealous, Cerys is starting to feel pretty uncomfortable in her rural luxury, and just who is the bearded figure in a red cagoule that seems to be peering at her from behind every tree?

‘Black Mirror meets Tales of The Unexpected with shades of Shirley Jackson.’ - Nina Pottell

‘So fresh and quirky and unlike anything I’ve read before. I really urge you to give it a try.’ Laura Pearson

We'll be meeting on Thursday 25th of April via MS Teams where we will be discussing the novel. You can find the link via the Events Calendar on the Staff Room.

Hope to see you there...
