SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Mischief Makers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Elizabeth Gifford to hear about her new book The Mischief Makers – an enthralling and brilliantly conceived historical novel exploring the troubled inner world of Daphne Du Maurier.  \nAbout THE MISCHIEF MAKERS: \nShe wrote her stories in his shadow. Now Daphne’s past is catching up with her… \nIn a beautiful house in the wilds of Cornwall\, Daphne du Maurier is on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Tangled in a self-destructive love affair that threatens to unravel her marriage\, she is also distracted by worry for the family friend whose shadow looms over her childhood: J. M. Barrie\, author of Peter Pan. \nDaphne tries to escape into writing her new book\, but the line between fiction and reality blurs dangerously when her own characters start manifesting before her eyes – in particular a woman called Rebecca who looks suspiciously like her husband’s alluring ex-girlfriend. \nDaphne must confront the dark truth that lurks beneath the fantasy of Peter Pan and the secret life that has plagued her since she found fame. Unless she can solve these mysteries and reckon with who she truly is as an artist\, her next great work may be lost to history… \nBook your FREE ticket to the event here.

SUMMARY:Book Club 37: Forbidden Notebook
DESCRIPTION:This month we are reading Forbidden Notebook by Alba De Cespedes \nOut running an errand\, Valeria Cossati gives in to a sudden impulse – she buys a shiny black notebook. She starts keeping a diary in secret\, recording her concerns about her daughter\, the constant churn of the domestic routine and her fears that her husband will discover her new habit. With each entry Valeria plunges deeper into her interior life\, uncovering profound dissatisfaction and restlessness. As she finds her own voice\, the roles that have come to define her-as wife\, as mother\, as daughter-begin to break apart. \nForbidden Notebook is a rediscovered jewel of Italian literature\, published here in a new translation by the celebrated Ann Goldstein and with a foreword by Jhumpa Lahiri. A captivating feminist classic\, it is an intimate\, haunting story of domestic discontent in postwar Rome\, and of one woman’s awakening to her true thoughts and desires. \nAll are welcome!

SUMMARY:School of Life Conversation - Getting Over Your Parents
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of conversation presented by The School of Life. The topic will be Getting Over Your Parents – based on the book which is an insightful and illuminating guide to understanding the psychological legacy left to us by our parents. \n  \nOur parents are a huge deal: no matter our relationship to them\, who we are today (what love stories we get into\, our attitudes to work\, our self-esteem) is crucially determined by our relationships with our origin families. \n  \nFollowing on from the bestselling How To Overcome Your Childhood\, Getting Over Your Parents is a practical guide on how to navigate the complex legacies left to us by our parents. By exploring different types of parents\, such as “The Preoccupied Parent”\, “The Overprotective Parent”’ and “The Controlling Parent”\, it gives us a vocabulary with which to understand some of the stranger and more difficult things that parents sometimes do to their children\, as well as advice on how to move forward from our puzzles or confusions. The emphasis is never on blame\, always on understanding. \nOffering constructive solutions for dealing with the symptoms of a difficult childhood\, this book helps us to explore the past so that we can avoid the mistakes our parents made\, and secure for ourselves the more creative\, calm and loving future we deserve. \n  \nThe event is FREE and all are welcome. Tea and coffee will be available for purchase on the evening. Register your place HERE

SUMMARY:Georgina Moore and Kirsty Capes In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening in conversation with two fantastic authors: Georgina Moore\, author of The Garnett Girls\, and Kirsty Capes\, author of recently released Girls.

She was a terrible mother to her girls\, Mattie and Nora. And that her legacy would live on forever. \nEven so\, it’s unlikely the world will ever see another Ingrid Olssen exhibition – her last request to her daughters was to throw her ashes in the canyon and her paintings in the sea. \nBut as Mattie and Nora reluctantly embark on an all-or-nothing trip to fulfil her wishes\, they start to unpick the painful scars of their past. \nAnd soon they begin to realise that the ties that bound them\, might also break them…

SUMMARY:Book Club 35: The House of Doors
DESCRIPTION:This month we’re reading The House of Doors by Tan Twan Eng. \nIt is 1921 and at Cassowary House in the Straits Settlements of Penang\, Robert Hamlyn is a well-to-do lawyer and his steely wife Lesley a society hostess. Their lives are invigorated when Willie\, an old friend of Robert’s\, comes to stay. \nWillie Somerset Maugham is one of the greatest writers of his day. But he is beleaguered by an unhappy marriage\, ill-health and business interests that have gone badly awry. As Willie prepares to leave and face his demons\, Lesley confides secrets of her own\, including how she came to know the charismatic Dr Sun Yat Sen\, a revolutionary fighting to overthrow the imperial dynasty of China. And more scandalous still\, she reveals her connection to the case of an Englishwoman charged with murder in the Kuala Lumpur courts – a tragedy drawn from fact\, and worthy of fiction. \nEveryone is welcome to the book club and we encourage newcomers.
