Once again, we're collaborating with one of our favourite independent bookshops Golden Hare books to bring you a series of brilliant reads, beautiful wines and seasonal cheese.
For May we have selected Paul by Daisy Lafarge.
Frances is a graduate student spending a summer volunteering in rural France, in the hope that tending vegetables and harvesting honey will distract her from a scandal that drove her out of Paris, her research unfinished and her sense of self unmoored. At the eco-farm Noa Noa, she comes under the influence of its charismatic and domineering owner, Paul. As his hold over her tightens and her plans come unstuck, she finds herself entangled in a strange, uneven relationship... Lafarge is also a poet, which shows in her luminous prose. An incredible novel about male power and finding the strength to leave.
The Wine & Cheese Book Club will be hosted downstairs in our wine cellar by Jenna from Golden Hare leading the book chat.
The cost of your ticket includes the following:
- A copy of that months quite brilliant book club book (available to be collected from Golden Hare Books as soon as you have booked)
- A glass of wine on arrival to help get the conversation started
- Cheese. Lots of cheese to keep the discussion flowing
Please note:
- unfortunately we can't offer any refunds on book club tickets
- the book club takes place in our wine cellar to which there is only step access. Sincere apologies for any access issues this causes.
- the book club is extremely popular and only has 12 spaces, so we ask that you limit each booking to two tickets please
