August Book Club

Service Description

Join us on 26 August 2026 for our Book Club discussion of The Echo Chamber by John Boyne. We’ll dive into this sharp, darkly comic satire that unpacks the chaos of modern celebrity culture, online outrage, and the strange, noisy world we’ve built around ourselves. As the Cleverley family’s carefully curated lives begin to unravel, their missteps spark a chain of scandals that expose the absurdity — and danger — of living in a perpetual performance. Through humour, bite, and brilliantly observed detail, the novel asks timely questions about truth, ego, and the echo chambers we all inhabit. Expect thoughtful conversation, differing perspectives, and a welcoming space to explore a novel that’s both wickedly funny and unsettlingly familiar in its portrayal of the digital age. Hot drink and slice of cake included (upgrade to a glass of wine, prosecco, or bottle of beer at check out).
