Alan Dein joins a group of female friends in an exclusive south-west London reading circle

Every six weeks, an exclusive group of women in affluent Putney in south-west London meets to discuss a book they have all been reading; Alan Dein joins them.

5. Readers' Lives. Every six weeks a group of women in affluent Putney by the Thames in south-west London meets to discuss a book they've all been reading. This is no casual club open to the public but a close knit circle of friends and bibliophiles whose group is exclusive. As Boat Race Saturday - spring highpoint of the social calendar - approaches, Alan Dein joins the women as they go about their daily lives to hear about their relationship with Putney, with each other and the meaning the book club has for them. 

Producer: Neil McCarthy.
