In this monthly reading group we will discuss popular fiction from all over the globe! Perfect for those who want to get a bit more out of what they’re reading, and a chance to talk about it with some like-minded readers.
In April we will be discussing Bird Summons by award-winning author, Leila Aboulela. Three Muslim women, each facing their own identity crisis, travel together into the Scottish highlands. There they are visited by a sacred bird from Muslim and Celtic literature, causing them to confront questions of faith, freedom and sacrifice.
The Fiction Reading group meets on the first Wednesday of every month, with a new start time of 19:15. There will be two groups running simultaneously so if you’d like to be in the same group as a friend, try to arrive together! A place at the reading group is £5 and this voucher can be used on the night of the event against the purchase of any book in the shop.
