Book Club: The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances by Glenn Dixon Join us in mid-October as we discuss one of the most talked-about novels of the year. In a self-running smart house, a curious little robot vacuum listens as her elderly owner, Harold, reads To Kill a Mockingbird aloud to his dying wife. Captivated by the story, she names herself Scout and begins to wonder what it means to truly connect. When the all-seeing Grid decides Harold no longer belongs in the home he has lived in for fifty years, Scout and her fellow appliances band together with the humans they love to fight back. Funny, moving and quietly profound, it's a love letter to books and an underdog story with real heart. Praised by Matt Haig and Jennie Godfrey, it's perfect for fans of warm, thought-provoking fiction with a speculative twist. New members are always welcome, whether you finish the book or not.
