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!
Join us for a captivating evening in conversation with Katie Carr, when she will discuss her forthcoming memoir Thundery at Times. Katie’s story is beautifully realised on the page — she has created a hopeful and honest, yet uplifting account, of her attempt to finish the challenge left to her by her brother Toby, whose story is so poignantly told in her first book Moderate Becoming Good Later.
From the lonely heights of mountains to the womblike depths of caves, from sacred monuments and pilgrimage sites, to art made by our Neolithic ancestors and today's sculptors, stone has always drawn us in. In The Spirit of Stone, Wyl Menmuir brings together social history, folklore and encounters with the landscapes to explore the many ways in which rock and earth ground us and form part of our identities, histories and futures.
Music of social conscience and love of the natural world. Toni's original songs in the traditional style, accompanied on guitar, dulcimer, hurdy gurdy and bouzouki, bring audiences and communities together with her rousing performances. 100% of all ticket sales will be donated to Protect the Wild.
