About this Event

Join us at Waterstones Kensington for our monthly book club. This month we'll be discussing Alison Lurie's comic yet heart-wrenching masterpiece, Foreign Affairs.
Vinnie Miner is an American professor of children's literature on her way to London for six months of research. Settling into her aeroplane seat she finds herself accosted by Chuck, a brash engineer wearing cowboy boots. She never imagines she'll see him again. But wet, windy London turns out to be the setting for fresh beginnings, and for Vinnie, a place to take up space, breathe the air, and to refuse to become a minor character in one's own life.
