Books, Wine &
Girl Time
Where the pages turn and the wine flows.
A little club with a big heart
We are a circle of women who gather once a month to discuss books, share a bottle and savour one another's company. No homework, no pressure: just good stories, a well-dressed table and friends who feel like family.
I.
Great Books
Gripping thrillers, swoon-worthy romances and literary gems. We read widely, and we always have opinions.
II.
Fine Wine
Each month our host selects a bottle to suit the story: rosé for the love stories, a bold red for the murders.
III.
Good Company
Truthfully, the conversation wanders far from the book. The laughter and the friendship are the real plot.

The Witch
by Freida McFadden
“Some secrets don't die. They wait.”
Having lost her job and her apartment, Julia Barlow retreats to Pemberton, her family's sprawling seventeenth-century estate in rural Massachusetts, to check in on her aging grandmother. Then the lights begin to flicker, the grandfather clock stops at exactly 3:41 a.m. every night, and a disembodied voice cries for help outside her bedroom door. Digging into the house's past, Julia uncovers the story of a woman executed for witchcraft in 1692, and a family history built on lies.
