SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting 25
DESCRIPTION:This month we are reading Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson. \n1926\, and in a country still recovering from the Great War\, London has become the focus for a delirious new nightlife. In the clubs of Soho\, peers of the realm rub shoulders with starlets\, foreign dignitaries with gangsters\, and girls sell dances for a shilling a time. \nAt the heart of this glittering world is notorious Nellie Coker\, ruthless but also ambitious to advance her six children\, including the enigmatic eldest\, Niven whose character has been forged in the crucible of the Somme. But success breeds enemies\, and Nellie’s empire faces threats from without and within. For beneath the dazzle of Soho’s gaiety\, there is a dark underbelly\, a world in which it is all too easy to become lost. \nWith her unique Dickensian flair\, Kate Atkinson brings together a glittering cast of characters in a truly mesmeric novel that captures the uncertainty and mutability of life; of a world in which nothing is quite as it seems. _____ \nEveryone is welcome and we encourage newcomers. Just drop us an email to join. \nThe book is available to buy in the shop or order online.

SUMMARY:Shehan Karunatilaka in conversation with Marlon James
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce a special online event with Shehan Karunatilaka\, discussing his 2022 Booker Prize Winning novel The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida with the 2015 Booker Prize Winning author\, Marlon James. \nAbout the book\nA searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war\, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida follows the adventure of the eponymous war photographer\, gambler and closet gay\, who has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads\, suicide bombers and hired goons\, the list of suspects is depressingly long\, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest. Maali has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka. The Booker judges said the book “fizzes with energy\, imagery and ideas against a broad\, surreal vision of the Sri Lankan civil wars.” \nWatch the discussion here.

SUMMARY:Flourish Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Join author Kate Greenstock for the launch of Flourish – a practical and emotional guidebook to thriving in midwifery.\n\nGuests will be welcome to chat to Kate about Flourish and purchase the book for themselves or to donate to a local midwife at Kingston Hospital. Guests will receive a complimentary welcome glass of Prosecco. Kate will be reading from the book at approx 7.15pm.\nThis is a free event but registration is required. \n*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************\n\nFlourish is the only book addressing the stark psychological impact of midwifery work while giving midwives the tools to choose a brighter future. Flourish aims to support you as a midwife to do two things: to name what’s going on around you and within you\, then to find and claim your distinctive place in the midwifery world.\n\nYou might be a newly qualified or early career midwife facing the challenges of finding your voice as well as your feet. Maybe you’re an established midwife but feel as though you have lost your way – and with it the energy to reshape either yourself or the environment you work in. Perhaps you’re a team leader seeking to find the vocabulary to connect with your team\, acknowledge what they might be feeling and reach out for resources and tools to support them to thrive\, reflect and grow. \nAs a guidebook\, Flourish is a tour of discovery that reveals how ‘standard’ maternity environments and practices might be impacting you personally\, and then invites you to reconnect with the core of your personality and purpose. You’ll recognise more clearly the realities of trauma exposure\, burnout\, compassion fatigue and moral injury\, and explore what’s really needed for psychological safety. You’ll choose from an array of exercises to practice living well in the day to day\, and you’ll find a way back ‘home’\, to a place where your sense of motivation for being a midwife is rekindled – a place where you can reconnect to your values\, strengths and your unique voice. Once there\, you will be able to make real\, rich choices about your life and your career. \nKate Greenstock is a distinctive combination of practising midwife and coach\, bringing the flavours of both: reality and possibility; rawness and hope. \n\nDonate a copy of Flourish to a local midwife.\n\n \n\n← Back Thank you for your response. ✨\n\n\n					\n						\n							\n							\n						\n						\n						\n						\n						\n							\n								\n									\n										\n										\n									\n									\n										\n										\n									\n								\n							\n						\n						\n							\n								\n									\n									\n										\n									\n									\n									\n								\n							\n						\n					\n				\n\n\n\nName(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nEmail(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nWebsite\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nMessage\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			\n	\n	\n\n				\n					\n				\n						Submit

SUMMARY:Book club meeting 21
DESCRIPTION:This month we’re reading The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa. \nThe book follows a Professor with a peculiar problem – ever since a traumatic head injury seventeen years ago\, he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory – and a sensitive but astute young housekeeper who is entrusted to take care of him. The Professor may not remember what he had for breakfast\, but his mind is still alive with elegant mathematical equations from the past.
