  • Hello, everybody.

  • It's Dominic here from The Rest is History,

  • and I'm here to tell you about a thrilling new show that we have been working on here at Goalhanger.

  • It is called The Book Club, and it is presented by me and me.

  • Tavatha Cyrus.

  • And it will be coming out every Tuesday and each week we delve into some of the greatest,

  • the most fascinating, the most intriguing books of all time.

  • And it'll alternate every week between something a bit older, more classical,

  • so for instance, Wuthering Heights, and then something maybe newer and a bit more contemporary.

  • So The Secret History by Donna Tartt or Never Let Me Go by Kazooia Ishiguru.

  • And we will be digging into the kind of secret hidden stories behind the story.

  • We'll be uncovering the truth about the author themselves.

  • We'll be delving into the context, the history behind the book,

  • and also kind of unraveling the book itself a bit for you.

  • Yes.

  • So to explain the background to this,

  • Tabby and I have been working together on the rest of history for three glorious years, Tabby.

  • Feels like 30, but it's actually only been three.

  • And we'd often be mattering about books when we're off doing our rest of history tours and whatnot.

  • And we decided that we would do a little bonus series for members of the Restless History Club,
