On this page you will find reading guides for some of our most popular reading group books. Each month we will add new guides and recommend a guide from the archives. We hope that this page can give help for this week's book group choice and give inspiration for future book group choices. Within the guides you will find a mixture of the following: suggested questions for discussion, author interviews, cast of characters, critical reception, suggested further reading and much more. Please do email vintagebooks@randomhouse.co.uk with any feedback you may have after using our guides. We would love to hear from you.

Recommendation

The Innocents by Francesca Segal

What if everything you’d ever wanted was no longer enough?

Adam and Rachel are getting married at last. Childhood sweethearts whose lives and families have been intertwined for years; theirs is set to be the wedding of the year.
