The four week rhythm
No fixed times, sessions rotate so members across every timezone can join.
Week 1
Chapters 1 to 7
Opening the exhibition
- · What promise does the first chapter make to the reader, and is it kept?
- · Whose voice controls the narrative, and what does that choice cost us?
- · Which single image from these chapters refuses to leave you?
Week 2
Chapters 8 to 15
Pressure and complication
- · Where does the author withhold information, and to what effect?
- · How does place function as a character in this section?
- · What would change if this section were narrated by the antagonist?
Week 3
Chapters 16 to 23
The turn
- · Which decision here is impossible to defend and impossible to condemn?
- · How does the prose style shift as the stakes rise?
- · What is the book arguing about power in these pages?
Week 4
Chapters 24 to the End
Closing dialogue
- · Does the ending resolve the book's central question or reframe it?
- · What will you carry from this book into next month's read?
- · If you could ask the author one question, what would it be?
