Book Club – The Accidental Apprentice




Waterstones Blog show

Summary: One of our two Book Club books of the week this week is Vikas Swarup's The Accidental Apprentice. Listen to our podcast to find out what our own book club thought of it... From Vikas Swarup, the author of Q&A, the novel which became Danny Boyle's multi-award winning Slumdog Millionaire, comes The Accidental Apprentice. An extraordinary novel, The Accidental Apprentice which once again gets to the heart of contemporary India's problems - corruption, child labour, and forced marriage, to name but a few - while leaving the reader feeling strangely elevated.   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.     You can Reserve & Collect The Accidental Apprentice at your local Waterstones bookshop (http://bit.ly/1bVmXsW), buy it online at Waterstones.com (http://bit.ly/1bVmV46), or in ePub (http://bit.ly/1bVn087)
