SUMMARY:Oak Book Club: September 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\nHelm by Sarah Hall\nWinner of the Lakeland Book of the Year Award\nShortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize\, The Gordon Burn Prize and the Winston Graham Prize\nLonglisted for the Climate Fiction Prize and the Walter Scott Prize \nI can think of no other British writer whose talent so consistently thrills\, surprises and staggers — Benjamin Myers \nI’m awed. I wouldn’t think a novel could be at once so taut and so multifarious\, expanding one’s sense of what fiction can do — Sarah Moss  \nHelm is a ferocious\, mischievous wind – a subject of folklore and wonder – who has blasted the sublime landscape of the Eden Valley since the very dawn of time. \nThis is Helm’s life story\, formed from the chronicles of those the wind enchanted: the Neolithic tribe who tried to placate it\, the Dark Age wizard priest who wanted to banish it\, the Victorian steam engineer who attempted to capture it – and the farmer’s daughter who fell in love. But now Dr Selima Sutar\, surrounded by measuring instruments\, alone in her observation hut\, fears the end is nigh. \nVital and audacious\, Helm is the elemental tale of a unique life force – and of a relationship: between nature and people\, neither of whom can weather life without the other. \nA big\, celebratory book\, in places delightfully playful\, in others as tight and breathless as a thriller — Andrew Miller \n[Hall] sweeps from the cinematic to the specific\, her prose pulsing with life and lyricism. Helm pushes both the boundaries of the novel and our relationship with nature — The Spectator
