The Virago Book Club
Welcome to the Homepage of the Virago Book Club
Every two months, one of our books will be chosen by us as a Book Club selection, and we will invite all our readers to take part in reading, discussing and debating it. It could be any title – a new release, an established favourite, a modern classic, or a forgotten gem due for reappraisal. They all share one thing in common – great writing that will get people talking.
To join the conversation with other readers, and to for access to exclusive book-related content, click here to visit our dedicated Virago Book Club forum.

And if you’d like to join our panel of advance reviewers, and have a chance at receiving an early copy of each selected title, then visit the First Look page.
