This week the boys from the Waterford Readers’ C

This week the boys from the Waterford Readers’ Club had a great time speaking via Zoom with the girls from Domremy College discussing 'Illuminae' by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff.

The book covered some controversial issues around decision-making due to a lack of human emotion and its influence over the human characters of the novel.

We had a pleasant time catching up with the girls of Darby Readers’ Club, sharing many fascinating opinions and we look forward to meeting them again in the future, hopefully in person.
