And here we are at 7,500 members for the club. How did that happen?
For June, the 2 books we'll be recommending here on the ROSBC are:
Sally Rooney - Conversations With Friends
The much anticipated debut novel from this 26-year old Irish author doesn't disappoint (it was part of a seven-way bidding war between publishers, although not in the UFC sort of way I had imagined as she corrected me at our recent public interview). It's an entertaining, human, real story of 2 quite different couples(?) whose lives collide in a very 21st century way.
And:
Edouard Louis - The End Of Eddy
A brilliant, brilliant but frequently harrowing (and veiled autobiographical) story of a young man growing up in a very small minded, homophobic, very brutal provincial French town and the abuses he accepts at the hands of tormentors both at home and at school.
You can find more details about the Rick O'Shea Book Club, our live events during the Summer (including our first ever music festival events at Body & Soul 2017) and join in the daily book chats about these and dozens more books right here.
