Waterstones Blog show

Summary: This week's Book Club book of the week is Dear Lupin by Roger Mortimer & Charlie Mortimer, a collection of letters from a father to his wayward son...     The Book Club Podcast We think our Book Club selection are books not only worth reading, but worth talking about. Each week, we're bringing together a group of Waterstones Cardholders and our own booksellers to talk about our Book Club book of the week. You can download the discussion as a podcast via iTunes Dear Lupin gathers in one volume the correspondence of Roger Mortimer to his only son, Charles, spanning over 20 years. Roger's letters to Charles are never lacking in humour (whether intentionally or not) and always packed with generous advice, which his son consistently ignores. The letters are a glimpse into a flawed relationship between two flawed men which is as full of pathos as it is comedy. This week, discussing Dear Lupin are Jane, Jasmin, Shihara and Dan.         You can download and read a free sample of Dear Lupin by clicking here.   Dan Lewis, for Waterstones.com/blog   You can buy Dear Lupin at your local Waterstones bookshop (http://bit.ly/s6sdlu) or online at Waterstones.com (http://bit.ly/XrKsVx)   To find out more about our Book Club selection, click here.
