Summaries

The Book Group" is a dark comedy that follows an American and the dysfunctional book group she forms in Glasgow as a way to make friends.

American Clare Pettengill, newly arrived in Glasgow, starts up a book group in order to make some new friends. The group consists of three unhappy European football wives, a pretentious drug-addict student, a closet-homosexual football enthusiast, and a kind and gentle struggling author in a wheelchair. Each week they meet to read and discuss a new book, which always affects or influences each of the group's lives in some way.—Vladimir ([email protected])
