Join us for a welcoming book club to discuss the current novel and choose the next month’s read.

We meet on the first Monday of each month for a relaxed conversation, sharing our thoughts in the friendly atmosphere amongst the bookshelves.

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

Book club meetings are free to attend, and we offer a 10% discount on each month’s paperback choice.

Sybil Van Antwerp is seventy-three, slowly losing her sight and always writing letters…

To her children. Her favourite authors. Her ex-sister-in-law. The journalist poking into her past.

Her doctor. Suitors. Kindly neighbours. The infuriating gardening club.

All receive Sybil’s witty, wise correspondence, rich with everyday concerns.

But there is one letter that she has never sent. It concerns the darkest period of her life. To post it, Sybil must find forgiveness within herself.

The hardest letter to write is the one you’d never dare to send.

Tremendous — Fredrik Backman

Immensely enjoyable — Guardian

I can’t praise it enough. It’s an absolute triumph — Clare Chambers
