Story Café Special: Ajay Close
2nd November, 2017, 12:30pm to 2:30pm
Free – £2.00Immerse yourself in tales from around the world at our lunchtime Story Café, as we rediscover the joy of being read to.
So far this year, our hearts have been aflutter over the joys and sorrows of first love, humbled by the bravery of political activists and warmed by acts of compassion. Stories and poems give us a glimpse into the lives of women across the globe, whilst helping us to make sense of our own. So why not top up your cuppa from our big, bottomless teapot, get yourself comfy and be a part of the story.
Story Café is on Thursdays 7th to 28th September, 12th and 26th October, 2nd November, 16th to 30th November, 7th and 14th December, 12.30pm to 2.30pm, £2/Free
After rave reviews for her latest novel The Daughter of Lady Macbeth, we’re delighted to welcome back Ajay Close to Story Café.
When IVF offers Freya and Frankie one last chance to conceive the child they long for, and after years of being kept in the dark by her mother about her father’s identity, Freya makes a breakthrough discovery – or thinks she does.
Exploring the complex, often ambivalent bond between mothers and daughters, The Daughter of Lady Macbeth is a powerful, sensual novel which is sure to spark thought-provoking discussion.
‘Sensual, wise and raw, The Daughter of Lady Macbeth gets to the heart of what it means to be a mother’ – Rosemary Goring
