Turn Around Reading Club - Title No. 2

Dear Readers

I hope you have had a chance to read last week's title by Charles Dickens 

This week's title is from a collection of short stories - Sleep No More  by P.D.James

You can read online here 

         A Very Desirable Residence by P.D.James

A posh des res, the kind one would snap up, for some 

a dream home even, but for others maybe an unimaginable 

nightmare. P.D.James does her unsettling best as she 

looks behind the façade of a very desirable residence.

Possible points for discussion 

Compare the narrators of the first two pieces. 

How do they affect your perception of the story? 

Did your perception change as you were reading?

I hope you enjoy!

First up Charles Dickens with 'Hunted Down'

Has a hairstyle ever unsettled you? Are the most revealing observations about a person made before you hear them speak? This short story looks behind the façade of an “exceedingly well dressed” gentleman. #WorldBookDay
