BookTalk 2020-21 – updated schedule
We’re very excited to be able to share further details of our 2020-21 programme.
We will be hosting readings with audience Q&A with Richard Gwyn talking about his novel The Blue Tent (3 February 2021), to be followed by Tyler Keevil with Your Still Beating Heart in the spring.
Then in spring and summer we’ll be looking at Ann Quin’s Passages, Hilary Mantel’s The Mirror and the Light and Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse.
All events are free and open to all. Events will take place on Zoom. You must register in advance in order to attend. Registration is currently open for the 2020 events only.
