Hello,
Here are some question for you to have a look at before the bookclub meeting on 26/8/10
- The Girls is written as a fictional autobiography. Why do you think the author chose this format? Did you ever have to remind yourself while reading that The Girls is a novel rather than a memoir?
- The novel is, at times, endearingly funny. Do you have a favorite comedic moment?
- Did you find yourself forgetting that Rose and Ruby were joined at the head? In what way is the bond of sisterhood more important than their physical link?
- How did you respond to the scene with Frankie Foyle? Were you curious about the sisters’ sexuality before you reached this chapter? What other aspects of conjoinment fascinated you or helped you to see the world differently?
- Imagine that you were a neighbour or co-worker of Ruby and Rose. Which sister do you think you’d get along with better?
I hope you're all enjoying the book. See you at the meeting.
Questions are from Reading Group Guides.
