The Buckland-in-the-Vale and Sandstone Tor Gay Book Club by John Wiltshire

That’s a distinction that both Rory and Adam would have liked to have been clearer from the beginning. To be clear, it’s not a gay club, but rather a club that was started to discuss gay books. Part satire, part rom-com, the story revolves around Rory and Adam, a group of elderly women-in the story and hereafter referred to as ‘the old dears’-and of course, a gay book club.

Is that title a mouthful, or what?! Ha! When I saw this book come across the publisher’s list, I definitely had to see what it was all about. I’m familiar with his other work-except for a couple of contemporaries, he writes largely mystery/suspense thrillers-and have had his More Heat Than the Sun series on my list forever but hadn’t yet gotten to any of his titles…until I saw this one. Review: The Buckland-in-the-Vale and Sandstone Tor Gay Book Club (Inaugural Meeting) was my first John Wiltshire book, and, I believe, was his first foray into comedy. Truth, like life, is what you make of it. The founders of the Buckland-in-the-Vale and Sandstone Tor Gay Book Club know only too well that not all truths are written in books. The nine other members of the new club could have told them this, had they been consulted. Both Rory and Adam have yet to learn, however, that you cannot always judge a book by its cover. He’s saving himself until he finds it, preferably with Mr Darcy, but definitely not with the arrogant, unpleasant ape Adam Sandstone. Rory McGrath suffers from a debilitating condition-he caught it from reading too many books. There were also a handful of things that had me saying, ‘Ummm…whut?’ But, overall, I quite liked it.īlurb: What a pity the founding members of the new Gay Book Club didn’t think to use a correctly placed hyphen-if they had, things might have worked out for everyone very differently indeed. There were lots of things that made me chuckle. Amazon US Title: The Buckland-in-the-Vale and Sandstone Tor Gay Book Club (Inaugural Meeting)Īt a Glance: Wiltshire is undeniably a talented writer.
