Book Club | October Social Gathering

To welcome all book lovers of different reading preferences, our monthly book pick is simply a conversation starter - whether you’ve read it or not, our discussion topics go far beyond the book, touching on a variety of themes and interests. Our gathering is NOT about analysing the book like a seminar, but more about connecting, sharing ideas, and enjoying a relaxed, social evening with fellow book lovers over drinks.

📚 Book Recommendation of the Month:

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

Synopsis (without spoilers):

As a co-recipient of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Demon Copperhead follows a boy born into poverty in rural Appalachia, navigating a world shaped by neglect, addiction, foster care, and survival. With sharp wit, grit, and resilience, the narrator - nicknamed Demon -tells his own coming-of-age story with heart and unflinching honesty.

Barbara Kingsolver masterfully blends social commentary with vivid storytelling, painting a powerful portrait of contemporary America’s overlooked corners. It’s a deeply human novel about hardship, identity, and the fight to reclaim one’s voice.

Our book club sessions are a great way to engage in lively and friendly discussions, share insights, and meet fellow book lovers, sometimes the author as well.

Our meeting will be held in a room exclusively reserved for us at a private member's club in South Kensington, just steps away from Gloucester Road station. We keep each gathering small - fewer than 10 participants - to ensure everyone has a chance to join and enjoy.
