CFE Book Club Information Page

Our Book Club  is part of Clonakilty Favour Exchange and we always welcome new members.The book club is not linked to exchanging favours but you do have to be a CFE member to join us.

We meet on the second Thursday of every month (venue to be confirmed).Our meetings start at 7.30pm. 

Please click on our book list. These books were nominated by our members and drawn out of a hat for us by the author David Mitchell.

Books can be ordered via cfebookclub@gmail.com. We contact one of the book shops in Clonakilty and you collect and pay. By being a member of CFE book club you benefit from a 10% discount. Clonakilty Library can also order books provided they are given enough notice. You do need to be a library member.

At our meetings we expect our members to have respect for each others views and to listen as well as contribute.Usually, we ask the person whose book has been chosen to facilitate that meeting.Their role is to provide areas for discussion and guide us so everyone has opportunity to speak.

If you do not think you will be attending book club for the chosen month we ask that you let us know.

If you haven't managed to read the book that month you are still welcome.

  The book

'Saltwater' by Lane Ashfeldt

Reader reactions: SaltWater

“A superb collection of stories. Beautifully crafted. The sea laps at the pages from start to finish.” Danielle,  Amazon
“As Real as the Sea Lane Ashfeldt’s short story collection SaltWater embodies the sea that everywhere splashes about its digital pages – it is fresh, powerful and natural, with an ever present sense of danger. ‘You had to be ready for the sea because, if not, then the sea would be ready for you’.”  Alice Walsh, editor, The Bohemyth, Dublin
“I’ve been skiving off work & reading SaltWater this morning and what a pleasure it is. I love the startling changes of point of view in ‘The Boat Trip’ and then the way that story links to the title story, ‘SaltWater’. I like the big canvas Lane works on — both in terms of time and geographically.”  Vicky Grut, author, London
“A gorgeous collection by a bright talent.” Nuala Ní Chonchúir, author, Galway
“SaltWater made me homesick for West Cork, for the times I would kayak and sail around Roaringwater Bay, and the rest of it.” Clem Cairns, Fish Publishing
“Raw and Elegant.” Bookmunch, England
