Our Top Picks
Stuck for ticket inspiration? Want to try something a little different? These are our top picks:
An Afternoon of Romance featuring Julia Jones chatting about Jane Austen as chick-lit, Kate Hardy revealing all about the world of Mills and Boon and Jan Jones talking regency novels and the Romantic Novelists Association. Of course there will be complimentary tea and scones!
Robert Colvile chatting about his book The Great Acceleration: How the World is Getting Faster, Faster. Robert explains how the cult of disruption in Silicon Valley, the ceaseless advance of technology and our own fundamental appetite for novelty and convenience have combined to speed up our daily lives.
Brenna Hassett talking about her fascinating book Built on Bones. Brenna examines skeletons to find out how people have lived and died. Her book is an upbeat, wisecracking attempt to trace the development of cities through thousands of years of human disease, violence and misery, all the while asking: “If cities are so great, why are they full of things that kill us?”
Jemma Wayne is a marvellous up and coming novelist. Her second novel Chains of Sand is set between London and Israel amidst the turmoil of war. It is driven by the powerful love stories of young Israeli Jews, Arabs, and Brits alike, each battling to forge their own identities against the hopes, fears and prejudices of their families, and the societies they find themselves trapped within.
Don’t miss out on these brilliant opportunities!
