Book Club

Friday, January 30th at 6pm.

This August we are reading ‘Orlanda’, by Jacqueline Harpman.

There's a voice in Aline's head- a voice that wants out.
Brash, boisterous and sexually adventurous, this voice seems to be the antithesis of Aline, a prim literature professor for whom each day promises to be as quiet and conventional as the last.
That is until, after thirty-five years of imprisonment, her alter ego breaks free.
Taking on a life of his own, Orlanda - Aline's second self - slips into the taut, rugged body of a young man. As Aline continues unaware, Orlanda follows, dragging gleeful chaos in his wake, vowing to leave both their existences forever altered.

A bewitching fable, an androgynous dream, Orlanda is one woman's reckoning with all the hidden sides of her soul.

For more details, please get in touch with one of our well-read staff members.

First Thursday of each month, 6.00 pm to 7.00 pm.

Our next book club pick is The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley, which will be discussed in store on Thursday 4th of July at 6pm.

About this month’s book:

An exquisitely original and feverishly fun fusion of genres and ideas, The Ministry of Time asks: What does it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house? Kaliane Bradley’s answer is a blazing, unforgettable testament to what we owe each other in a changing world.
