About this Event
For April's book club, we will be welcoming author Jyoti Patel, to come and discuss her debut novel The Things That We Lost.
Our first ever North London author event will be welcoming the #Merky New Writers Prize winner tothe Dame Alice Owen pub, to spend the evening with our book club, discussing her stunning debut novel.
About the book:
Nik has lots of questions about his late father but knows better than to ask his mother, Avani. It's their unspoken rule. When his grandfather dies, Nik has the opportunity to learn about the man he never met. Armed with a key and new knowledge about his parents' past, Nik sets out to unlock the secrets that his mother has been holding onto his whole life.
As the carefully crafted portrait Avani has painted for her son begins to crack, and painful truths emerge, can the two of them find their way back to each other? The Things That We Lost is a beautifully tender exploration of family, loss and the lengths to which we go to protect the ones we love.
Ticket prices:
Tickets are £10 but if you cannot afford them then just drop us an email at: [email protected] and we'll see what we can do. Likewise with the book... or why not check it out from your local library, second-hand shop, Kindle or book swap with a friend?
Refund policy:
We are over the moon that our events are becoming so popular, so because of that we have made a refund policy so it is fair for all.
If you cancel 7 days before the event you will get a 100% refund
If you cancel 4 days before the event you will get a 50% refund
Anything closer to the date, we will not offer refunds. We have decided on this as it is unfair to ask anybody to read at such a speedy rate - we know we definitely couldn't!
North London FBC House Rules:
We welcome feminists from all walks of life and backgrounds, and this group is open to everyone - we want this to be a fully inclusive space;
You don’t need to be an ‘expert feminist’ (whatever that means) to be involved - we want to read books that everyone can enjoy, and that cater to people’s different experiences and understandings of feminism;
This is primarily a social space, for meeting and getting to know like-minded people - so while feminism can be a heavy topic, we hope to keep this more on the fun side;
This is a judgement free zone - don’t belittle or undermine other members, or those who don’t have the same ideas as you. Don’t shut down other people’s views and be respectful;
`If you feel like anyone goes against any of these values, let Rebecca or Jo know.
