Our next Monday book club is on 4th May when we’ll discuss The Names by Florence Knapp, which was chosen as a Book of the Year by the Guardian, Independent, and the Sunday Times who said 'I've just been blown away by the best debut novel in years . . . A genius idea for a book’.
Join us in conversation with travel author Jules Brown to discuss his latest book, Far Out, where he journeys to the edges of Europe by train with plenty of stories and travel tips along the way. Jules’ books are described as “the best kind of travel companion – funny, informed and always up for an adventure” by to Martin Dunford (Rough Guides founder & Cool Places publisher). We can’t wait to hear more about some of Jules’ adventures, perfect for armchair travellers and explorers alike!
Join us in welcoming acclaimed singer-songwriters Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine to the Book Tree during their new tour for their beautiful co-created album, Things Found in Books. Haunting, nostalgic and sensitive, each song transports you into lives imagined from an object carried through time between the pages of a book. The show will include favourites from the album alongside new songs and solo performances for an evening not to be missed!
Our next Thursday book club is on 14th May when we’ll discuss Late in the Day by Tessa Hadley. The book was chosen by the Sunday Times in their list of 100 Great 21st Century Novels, who praised it as “a fine-grained novel of friendship, loss and jealousy”.
Join us for a gripping and heart wrenching locked room drama from Ellie Levenson, who is certainly a debut novelist to watch! Sarah Jessica Parker “adored Room 706” and said of the novel that it is “as tender as it is surprising… a gripping interrogation of womanhood” (which is) “poignant, immersive, and utterly human”. Room 706 is a thrilling, thought provoking and deeply compelling story which will make a fantastic book club choice, so we’re very excited to chat with Ellie about it at this event!
