Join three old school friends: Fi, Annie and Sophie, as we talk books of all shapes and sizes. Fi is our resident scientist and compulsive buyer of books, Annie is a future Doctor of English Literature and bringer of our literary credentials and Sophie's a former Eng Lit student and chronic non-finisher of books. Together we are aiming to read at least one book a month and for the rest of it be very loud about our book (and non-book related) opinions.

Welcome to book 1 of our August translated books book club episodes! This week we are discussing the book Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa. Sweet Bean Paste tells of the story of Sentaro, a man with a criminal record and faded dreams of becoming a writer who spends his days in a small confectionary shop selling doryaki. His life changes when one day Tokue comes into his life, an old woman with disfigured hands and mysterious paste, who makes the best sweet bean paste Sentaro has ever tasted.
Next week's book is another translated work: Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
