About the Event

The Sisterhood Book Club is a friendly book club for adults, discovering and rediscovering female protagonists in classic, modern classic and contemporary fiction written by women. We have an eclectic taste and our reading journey has taken us all over the world. New Members are alsways welcome to join us!


We meet monthly to informally discuss a book we have read in advance and have a fun social evening at Do it Like a Mother in Westcliff on Sea. The cost of taking part is the purchase of the book to be discussed, the profit from which pays for the venue. Books are available at least a month prior to the book club and generally books for next month are purchased at the end of each club. They can also be ordered here and delivered.


We were originally inspired to form by Penguin Books' Sisterhood Collection, which included titles such as Anne of Green Gables, Little Women and Pride and Prejudice but we have throw off our foray into children's fiction and most recently the books we have read have included Diary of a Void (Emi Yagi), Foxash (Kate Worsley) and Violeta (Isabel Allende).


About the book this month:


Stories for Winter by Various Authors

Stories for Winter is a collection of short stories that take their inspiration from this cold, snowy season, whether it's winter holidays, weather-related predicaments or seasonal celebrations. The anthology is part of the British Library Women Writers series, and the stories are penned by authors whose writing originally appeared in books and magazines in the twentieth century.


Launched in 2020, the British Library Women Writers series is a curated collection of novels and anthologies by female authors who enjoyed broad, popular appeal in their day. In a century during which the role of women in society changed radically, their fictional heroines highlight women's experience of life inside and outside the home through the decades in these rich, insightful and evocative stories.
