Richmond Barracks Book Club: ‘Home Stretch’ by Graham Norton

This event has ended

Online, Thursday 28th October

This October, our book club will read and discuss ‘Home Stretch’ by Graham Norton.

It is 1987 and a small Irish community is preparing for a wedding.

The day before the ceremony, tragedy strikes. Lives are shattered and reverberations are felt throughout the small town, drawing secrets, unspoken longings and long-held regrets to the surface.

‘Home Stretch’ is the third novel written by the author, presenter and comedian Graham Norton.
