Join us for our next Thursday book club!

We usually meet on the second Thursday of each month for a relaxed and friendly conversation about the current book. As there is an author event with Jack Jewers on the 10th September (find out more here), this month’s meeting will be the following week.

The bookshop door will be open from 6.50pm for a 7pm start in our atmospheric upstairs space.

Our book club meetings are free to attend, and we offer a 10% discount on each month’s paperback choice. Due to the higher RRP of September’s book there is an increased discount to bring the price down to £10.

This Month’s Book

Devotions by Lucy Caldwell

The highly-anticipated new collection from the BBC National Short Story Award-winning author of Multitudes, Intimacies and Openings

Exhilarating, devastating, comforting, essential — Claire Kilroy

A next-level author of short stories — The Herald

‘There must be moments when we let go – let go of all that we do, all that we are.’

A young Belfast theatre troupe brings its experimental production of Hamlet to New York.

On a night-flight, travelling with a violin older than the United States, a professional musician slips through time.

A man who loses all he thought he had, and finds himself haunted by all he never will, comes to a painful new understanding of what it might mean to love.

Transporting and profound, these are stories of love, grief, longing, of new beginnings, and the ways we find shelter in each other.

These are stories which sing off the page — Jan Carson

[Caldwell] holds the reader right up against the tender humanity of her characters — Eimear McBride
