Introduction
Catching up where we left off in July, Dialogue’s Book Club will be meeting in the familiar surroundings of Café Hilde to talk about our summer selection, Penelope Lively’s Booker Prize-winning Moon Tiger Claudia Hampton has lived a full life as historian, reporter, lover, mother. Now she is dying in a London hospital, where she remembers the events in her life, particularly a romance with a tank commander during World War II, a passion that defined much of the rest of her life.
‘Moon Tiger is one of the very best Booker winners. Few books I’ve read recently have given me so much pleasure. (Or pain — this is literature of the first order, after all.)’ The Guardian
