Who says reading is good for you?
American Clare has just moved to Glasgow and is extremely keen to meet some new and interesting people. She decides to start a book group. To her utter dismay, those who turn up for the first session are not the friends she had hoped for.
There's Kenny, a handsome ex climber in a wheelchair, Janice, the frustrated wife of a famous Scottish footballer, and eccentric student Barney who Clare actually does fancy.
The Book Group is about this intriguing cast of characters, who are all trying to make new friends, new lives and new versions of themselves. But pretty soon, things get complicated. A little education can be a dangerous thing.
