Chichester Readers

We are a book club that will read anything that our members vote for, from novels to drama, poetry to biography, and we also invite a writer to visit us each year and talk about their work. In the past we have hosted Louisa Treger (author of The Dragon Lady and Madwoman), the award-winning Claire Fuller (Unsettled Ground) and the bestselling G. J. Minett (The Hidden Legacy).
