SUMMARY:Book Club 34
DESCRIPTION:This month we are reading In Memoriam by Alice Winn \nIn 1914\, war feels far away to Henry Gaunt and Sidney Ellwood. They’re too young to enlist\, and anyway\, Gaunt is fighting his own private battle – an all-consuming infatuation with the dreamy\, poetic Ellwood – not having a clue that his best friend is in love with him\, always has been. \nWhen Gaunt’s mother asks him to enlist in the British army to protect the family from anti-German attacks\, he signs up immediately\, relieved to escape his overwhelming feelings. But Ellwood and their classmates soon follow him into the horrors of trenches. Though Ellwood and Gaunt find fleeting moments of solace in one another\, their friends are dying in front of them\, and at any moment they could be next. \nEveryone is welcome to the book club and we encourage newcomers.

SUMMARY:Floored Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the book launch of “Floored” – the debut romcom from Chrissie Harrison. Browse the bookstore\, mingle\, and enjoy free fizz! \n“In order to expose her sexist boss\, sparky but socially anxious Hannah must hope her daring scheme to bug the office lift doesn’t backfire. However\, when she accidentally gets talking to lovelorn accountant Drew\, she becomes distracted with the impossible dream of romance. \nIf she can summon the courage to meet him in person\, perhaps together they can catch the preying boss without being discovered… and without damaging their fledgling relationship.” \nFLOORED is a charming romantic comedy guaranteed to give you a lift. \nThis wonderful\, laugh-out-loud\, will-they-won’t-they romcom is perfect for those who loved Beth O’Leary’s “The Flatshare”\, Laura Jane Williams’ “Our Stop”\, or Sally Thorne’s “The Hating Game”. \nThis book is the debut of Chrissie Harrison\, the pen name of Chris Towndrow who has published a dozen novels over the last decade. \nNo need to book – just turn up!

SUMMARY:An Evening with Claire Martin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Claire Martin as she discusses her book Heirs of Ambition – the making of the Boleyns. \nThis is a free to attend event and you can book your place Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Event *Let us know which event you would like to register forSubmit  \nHeirs of Ambition: The Making of the Boleyns uncovers the story and the family behind England’s most obsessed-over queen\, Anne Boleyn. \nFrom the fields of Norfolk to the royal court\, via city commerce\, local government\, liberal education and numerous wedding bells\, the Boleyns emerge as just one of many newly prosperous and ambitious families seeking to make the best of a changing world. As they struggle upwards\, England is visited by famine\, plague\, revolt and civil war – but also opportunity. \nStruggling peasants in dirt-floored cottages scratch a living on tiny scraps of land. More than half are swept away by plague while revolt soaks the south-east in blood\, but hope lies in the teeming\, timber-framed streets of London amongst ambitious merchants who speculate and scheme. Meagre rations become venison pasties and straw-filled mattresses\, featherbeds\, but some things remain the same. Disease has no respect for gold and silver; war takes sons whose lives have barely begun. While the Boleyns’ new-found wealth delivered power and status\, they still lived in a violent world and life could be precarious\, even for a queen. \nFrom steady climb to bone-breaking fall\, the Boleyns’ story is medieval life at its messy\, prejudiced and unstable best.

DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Hollins is a senior vet with over forty years experience. Since the mid-2000s\, he has worked in the British Overseas Territories of the South Atlantic and has a home on St Helena. There\, he looked after the world’s oldest living land animal\, Jonathan the Giant Tortoise.\nJoin us for a Q&A session with Jonathan and the opportunity to buy his memoir Vet at the End of the Earth. \nThe role of resident vet in the British Overseas Territories of the Falklands\, St Helena\, Tristan da Cunha and Ascension encompasses the complexities of caring for the world’s oldest land animal – a 200-year-old giant tortoise – and MoD mascots at the Falklands airbase; pursuing mystery creatures and invasive microorganisms; relocating herds of reindeer; and rescuing animals in extraordinarily rugged landscapes\, from subtropical cloud forests to volcanic cliff faces.  \nHugely entertaining and affectionate\, Jonathan Hollins’s tales of island vetting are not only full of ingenuity and astounding fauna – they are also steeped in the unique local cultures\, history and peoples of the islands\, far removed from the hustle of continental life.\n  \n​£5 ticket price goes towards purchase of book. Purchase your ticket here.\nDogs are welcome to attend.
