SUMMARY:Hawthorn Book Club: October 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our next Thursday book club! \nWe 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 Paul ‘Piglet’ Middleton on the 8th October find out more here\, this month’s meeting will be the following week. \nThe bookshop door will be open from 6.50pm for a 7pm start in our atmospheric upstairs space. \nOur book club meetings are free to attend\, and we offer a 10% discount on each month’s paperback choice. \n  \nThis Month’s Book\nThe Wax Child by Olga Ravn and translated by Martin Aitken\nThe Wax Child proves Olga Ravn’s ahead of the game. She’s the strangest – and best – young novelist in Europe — Telegraph\, The Greatest Books of 2025 \nI gulped The Wax Child down and dreamed wild dreams about it. Just brilliant — Max Porter \nIt was a black night in the year 1620 when Christenze Krukow made the wax child\, when she melted down beeswax and set it in the image of a small human. For days\, she carried it tucked beneath her arm\, shaping it with the warmth of her flesh\, giving it life. She fashioned for it eyes and ears that cannot open\, and yet – it watches and listens. Soon\, it will begin to understand that once a suspicion of witchcraft has taken hold\, it can prove impossible to shake… \nBased on an infamous seventeenth century Danish witch trial\, The Wax Child is the extraordinary new novel from Olga Ravn\, one of the most acclaimed and original writers at work today: a mesmerising\, frightening vision of a time when witches and magic were as real to the human mind as soil and seawater. \nOlga Ravn is a master and an alchemist. There’s nobody else doing quite what she does — Samantha Harvey \nAn incantation that explores womanhood\, motherhood and bodily autonomy. Martin Aitken’s mesmerising\, exquisitely precise translation is\, literally\, breathtaking — Irish Times\, Books of the Year
