Sheffield Feminist Book Club-November's read!

Come join us for our next book club meeting at La Biblioteka on 28 November at 7pm where we will be discussing Intermezzo by Sally Rooney. Grab a bite to eat or drink, settle in, and get ready for some lively discussions with fellow book lovers.

Whether you've read the book cover to cover or just want to listen in, all are welcome to join the conversation (disclaimer: spoilers will be discussed!). Let's dive into the themes, characters, and everything in between. Don't miss out on this chance to connect with like-minded individuals and explore feminist literature together. See you there!

The important bits:
Date – Thursday 28 November
Time - 7:00 - 9:00pm
Venue – La Biblioteka, Leah's Yard, Cambridge St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 4HP

About the book:

Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.
Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties—successful, competent, and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father’s death, he’s medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women—his enduring first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.
Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.
For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude—a period of desire, despair, and possibility; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking..

About the author:

Sally Rooney is a writer who has been dubbed “the first great millennial novelist” after publishing several well-received novels that highlight issues of class inequality, intimacy, art, and politics in the 21st century. Her best-known novel is Normal People (2018), which she adapted into a popular television miniseries in 2020.

The Feminist Book Club House Rules:

We welcome feminists from all walks of life and backgrounds, and this group is open to everyone - we want this to be a fully inclusive space;

You don’t need to be an ‘expert feminist’ (whatever that means) to be involved - we want to read books that everyone can enjoy, and that cater to people’s different experiences and understandings of feminism;

This is primarily a social space, for meeting and getting to know like-minded people - so while feminism can be a heavy topic, we hope to keep this more on the fun side;

This is a judgement free zone - don’t belittle or undermine other members, or those who don’t have the same ideas as you. Don’t shut down other people’s views and be respectful;

If you feel like anyone goes against any of these values, let us know!

Follow us - we are growing!
