This week's book is The Signalman by Charles Dickens and we'll not be meeting at The Fletcher Moss on William Street in Didsbury but will be meeting online — contact us for details.
We'll also be adding some other short stories to this meeting.
This is our last book this year, and we meet next on 7 January 2021 for The Blind Assassin.
The meeting is on Tuesday.
