Lit Reads Book Club: Girl by Edna O'Brien

Kia ora and Happy New Year all!

Thanks so much for bearing with me during this incredibly busy Christmas and New Year season- I hope you've all had a warm and lovely holiday and are ready to get stuck back into book club for the year! We'll be convening again on January 27th at 6.30pm and will have a full list of dates for Lit Reads in 2020 too!

We'll be starting the year with Edna O'Brien's new title, Girl.
O’Brien is an important writer who has long given a voice and created a space for girls and women in crisis. This novel tells the story of Maryam, one of a group of schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria. Girl will rip your heart out, but you won’t be able to put the book down.

Our next session will be run by our fabulous book-buyer Kiran Dass who currently reviews books for bFM, RNZ, The NZ Herald and The Listener. 
You can check out Kiran's excellent review of Girl for RNZ here!

Tickets are $10. Light refreshments will be available.

As always, please email us at books@timeout.co.nz with any questions.

Looking forward to hearing about all of the wonderful titles you've all been reading over the summer!

Ka kite,
Suri
