Summary
The book club members choose a book to read every month, ranging from memoirs, biographies, historical and fiction, thrillers and dystopia, political among others.
They also pick a restaurant that serves delicious brunch or dinner.
Joanne Kuria, a policy and communication specialist at Amnesty International, loves books and good food. Four years ago, she found a way to combine the two, where reading and sampling food in different restaurants provide a pretext for stimulating talk.
