Canterbury Book Club

The Book Club is a social group and an opportunity to discuss any book that we have read, some books explore grief and bereavement but it's not necessary that they do. The Book Club does also offer the opportunity to explore the grief, spirituality and self-help books that are available here in the TCFV Library. Unlike other book groups, we don’t need to read the same book. Everyone will be able to read their own choice of book and report back to the club. Feel welcome to bring along a book that you have found personally beneficial in your grief journey, or just come along and find out what others have been reading.
