Our October pick sparked a 90 minute fight over tea

We read a novel set in rural Ireland and somehow the whole club split on whether the ending was hopeful or bleak. Two members nearly stopped talking over it, and we never even got to the discussion questions I prepared. Has a single book ever split your group this badly?

That ending debate always tells you more about the readers than the book itself. Sounds like half the group wanted a clean wrap-up while the other half thrives on the messy reality of life. Honestly those heated fights beat a polite chat about themes any day, it means everyone actually cared.
