Slow Reading: Elif Shafak's There are Rivers in the Sky

Slow down, read closely, think and discuss - that's what we are asking you to do in this club. Led by Debbie Challis, who has chosen a few passages in There are Rivers in the Sky around the power of books, words and reading. Turn off your smart phones, step away from the hectic pace of life, and discuss words.

Includes a tea or coffee.
