Events for July 6th, 2026

Our next Monday book club is on 6th July when we’ll discuss winner of the 2026 Climate Fiction Prize, Hum by Helen Phillips. Chair of Judges, Arifa Akbar, described Hum as “a book that deals with love, community and family in the face of climate crisis, privilege and the age of AI” while fellow judge Jessie Greengrass said that it is “beautiful and intimate, this novel about the difficulties of love and care in a world which is increasingly mediated by technology is one I’ve found myself thinking about long after finishing the last page”.
