Named after the 18th-century "Bluestockings", women who defied convention by gathering to discuss books and ideas, our club continues their spirit of curiosity, conversation, and camaraderie.March Meeting Book: 'Piranesi' by Susanna Clarke (Winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction 2021)
Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house.
There is one other person in the house—a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.
Please note: Bluestockings will typically meet on the LAST Tuesday of every month. However, in March we will meet one week early on the 24th.
