What's On - The World Through Literature

A book club with a difference. Each week a different tutor presents a work of literature from across the genres and facilitates a lively discussion. Literature offers us an alternative view of the world or an escape into the imaginations of the fiction writer and the poet. It creates characters we love or hate and challenges our perceptions.
The works which the group members are asked to read in advance and will be discussed are:

Week 1 - 23rd October 2025
