Fridays at 1pm
Friday September 20th - The Dance Tree, Kiran Millwood Hargrave
Set against the backdrop of the dancing plague in Strasbourg in 1518, "The Dance Tree" follows the fate of a pregnant woman named Lisbet. As the town around her succumbs to uncontrollable dancing, Lisbet must navigate a maze of societal judgment and personal hardship, weaving a tale of resilience in the face of inexplicable phenomena.
Friday October 18th - The Wager, David Grann
In this true historical narrative, David Grann recounts the harrowing tale of an 18th-century shipwreck survivor who makes a dangerous bet to save himself and return to civilization. "The Wager" is a story of survival, betrayal, and the extraordinary lengths to which people will go to honour a debt.
Friday November 22nd - Saturday. Ian McEwan
Taking place over a single day in London, "Saturday" follows neurosurgeon Henry Perowne as he navigates a series of increasingly unsettling encounters culminating in a confrontation that will challenge his beliefs and the fabric of his society. McEwan's finely tuned prose dissects the complexities of the post-9/11 world with compelling precision.
