Winner of the 2015 Costa First Novel AwardÂ
If it had another name, I never knew, but the locals called it The Loney - that strange nowhere place between the Wyre and the Lune... Dull and featureless it may have looked, but The Loney was a dangerous place.
The Loney is Andrew Michael Hurley’s decidedly unsettling fictional debut, one of those bookseller word-of-mouth novels that gathered early momentum by the sheer merit of its writing.Â
With Lancashire’s wind-scorched coast as its setting, Hurley fuses faith, superstition and fear into a potent cocktail of family drenched in unsaid secrets and a constant, gnawing doubt that something strange and dangerous is afoot: it surprised none of us here to watch The Loney sail on to bag 2016’s Costa Book of the Year.
The regular group meeting is 3rd Wednesday of the month 1.30pm-3.30pm at St Margaret's Church Hall Tag Lane, Ingol, PR2 3XA. The car park is at the side of the building, accessed from St Margaret's Close. Bus Service, Number 35 stops outside the door.
The Group's next meeting is on the 15th October 2025 at 13.30 -15.30Â
Â
How the group works: Books (library group loan) are issued at a meeting for members to read, and are then discussed at the following meeting. We choose our reading list democratically each year so everyone is sure of finding something they like. We very rarely agree about the merits of a particular book, which adds to our enjoyment and the liveliness of our meetings.
Â
The book on loan is returned at the following meeting. If a member is unable to attend, please arrange with the Group Leader on how to return the book
