After much co-ordination, we are launching a new Book Club like no other! There is a twist here. We will be featuring a number of books every second week PLUS their authors here at the Club. You can come down over lunch and meet our distinguished authors and hear them share their 'book stories' with you over lunch. This is a first for the City of Halifax and I am proud that we are doing it here at The Halifax Club. You will get the rare opportunity to a glimpse inside the writers mind over a great lunch while sharing this with other members...Starting this off in October will be the following authors and their books:
