Welcome to Bad Women season 2!

After a successful first season of the bookclub, we're back with three more works of fiction where we will follow women who are complex, unsympathetic, angry and tired.

Just like in last season, we will be comparing themes, character arcs and storylines across three works of fiction. This fall we will be reading Boy Parts by Eliza Clark, The Vegetarian by Han Kang and Big Swiss by Jen Beagin.

Big Swiss by Jen Beagin: This darkly comic novel follows a group of American expatriates living in Zurich, Switzerland. The seemingly idyllic lives of these families unravel as secrets are revealed, marriages crumble, and societal pressures take their toll. Beagin's satirical wit takes aim at expat life, cultural clashes, and the pursuit of happiness amidst a backdrop of wealth and privilege.

The goal of the book club is to be able to cross-compare the three books (and maybe even the books in the first season of the book club), but feel free to show up only to one, two, or all of the meet-ups The books will be sold in the bookshop - shoot us a message if you want us to reserve one for you!
