Lit Reads Book Club: Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

Kia ora book club friends!

Thanks so much to everyone who joined our virtual chats- it was a pleasure to meet all of your cats and dogs (and would love to see them at the shop!). Starting Monday 22nd June, Lit Reads will be held in our usual spot at the usual time upstairs (6.30pm-8pm), supplanted with wine and snacks. 

Our June Lit Reads title, Hamnet, explores the fictionalized life of Shakespeare's son and wife. Looking at the tragic events that led to his son's death; the terse inner world of Shakespeare's marriage, the politics of gender and class and the effects of plague and illness, Hamnet is a powerful historical novel and a delicate insight into Shakespeare's little-known inner world.

Tickets are $10, wine and light snacks are provided. All are welcome!
