Story Café Special with Maggie Ritchie

Glasgow author Maggie Ritchie will be joining us at this Story Café Special to read from her award winning first novel, Paris Kiss. Set in Paris in the 1880s, it tells the story of English sculptor Jessie Lipscomb and her passionate friendship with Camille Claudel, the nineteen-year-old protégée and lover of Auguste Rodin.

Join us as we immerse ourselves in the heady atmosphere of the bohemian Paris art world, whilst enjoying some delicious French food.

Thursday 20th August, 12.30pm to 2.30pm 

Our warm and welcoming Story Café is the perfect way to relax over lunchtime. Bring along a bite to eat, grab a cuppa, and enjoy listening to wonderful short stories, novel extracts and poems by women writers from around the world.

Whether you’re an avid reader, or want to get into reading for the first time, this group is a great way to discover the wealth of writing on our shelves, meet new people and simply take some time out to recharge your batteries.
