About this Event
We would be delighted to see you at our Little bird book club . We meet on a Thursday of each month in the cafe, to discuss a book that we have read, the ideas behind it, and many other themes and threads that evolve in shared conversation.
For our November evening we will be discussing some of the novels of the late, brilliant Edna O'Brien:
The Country Girls trilogy "These are novels of heartbreaking empathy, rigorous honesty and peerless beauty. "https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/eimear-mcbride-on-edna-o-brien-s-rigorous-beautiful-the-country-girls-1.3218341.and
The Little Red Chairs
The real genius of this novel – and I don’t use the word lightly – is to take us right up close to worlds that we normally only read about in newspapers, to make us sweat and care about them, and at the same time create something that feels utterly original, urgent, beautiful. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/nov/08/little-red-chairs-edna-obrien-review
Tickets include a glass of wine (or tea if preferred) and shared snacks.
