What do you do when your small start-up book club is so popular that you quickly become overwhelmed with new members? For Eléonore Pratoussy of the Lesbian Book Club East London, it signalled a need for more lesbian book groups. Happily she has a plan to expand. Eléonore and fellow bookclubbers Caroline and Carina joined Kate in the studio to talk Angela Carter, Reni Eddo-Lodge, and a ton of great book recommendations in-between.
