SUMMARY:Oak Book Club: July 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a welcoming book club to discuss the current novel and choose the next month’s read. \nWe meet on the first Monday of each month for a relaxed conversation\, sharing our thoughts in the friendly atmosphere amongst the bookshelves. \nThe bookshop door will be open from 6.50pm for a 7pm start in our upstairs event space. \nBook club meetings are free to attend\, and we offer a 10% discount on each month’s paperback choice. \n  \nThis Month’s Book\nHum by Helen Phillips\nWINNER OF THE CLIMATE FICTION PRIZE 2026 \nIngenious and unsettling — Observer \nThis sleek ride of a novel further cements Phillips’s position as one of our most profound writers of speculative fiction — New York Times \nIn a hot and gritty city populated by super-intelligent robots called ‘Hums’\, May seeks some reprieve from recent hardships and from her family’s addiction to their devices. She splurges on a weekend away at the Botanical Garden – a rare\, green refuge in the heart of the city\, where forests\, streams and animals flourish.  \nBut when it becomes clear that the Garden is not the idyll she hoped it would be\, and her children come under threat\, May is forced to put her trust in a Hum of uncertain motives in order to restore the life of her family. \nGripping and unflinching\, Hum is about our most cherished human relationships in a world compromised by climate change and dizzying technological revolution\, a world with both dystopian and utopian possibilities.
