Perfume by Patrick Süskind

The inaugural meeting of the Book Group took place on Tuesday 19th 2007 and there was a great turn out considering the short notice.

The meeting was held in Fleur's house and she was a wonderful hostess. As well as creating a comfortable atmosphere for all attending she also provided scrumptious snacks. Thanks Fleur - you've set quite a standard!

At our first meeting the Book Group decided on our first title. The book chosen was Perfume, by Patrick Süskind.

Enjoy the book ladies and I look forward to our next meeting and to discussing Perfume...
