Our next book and meet...
We'll be meeting at 5.15pm Tuesday 7 May (in the new Exhibition Space on the ground floor of the Library and on Teams) to chat about Day by Michael Cunningham.
"Michael Cunningham gave us that rare sort of family story that feels intimate instead of epic. With outstanding characterization and gorgeous descriptive prose" goodreads
"I thought this was a perfect book. I'm not sure how Cunningham manages to get inside the heads and hearts of so many different people: a 10 year old boy, a 5 year old girl, overwhelmed mother, clueless father, doting uncle, plus a couple of peripheral characters who loom large, but he does." goodreads
"I thought this was quite a beautiful and reflective novel about how we all imagine our lives to be entirely unique and how we imagine our futures." goodreads
All staff and students welcome!
