About this Event
Joining a reading group is a great way to meet new people and share the pleasure of reading, exchange views on the books you have read and consider books you would never have imagined reading.
Brompton Library Reading Group meets every first Tuesday of the month to discuss great titles - from classics to modern prize winners.
Copies of the books are available for pick up at Brompton Library.
On Tuesday, 4 February we will discuss Gorsky by Vesna Goldsworthy.
Great Gatsby-inspired novel, about Russian oligarchs in London, was the New York Times Editor's Choice and Waterstones Book of the Month, as well as being long-listed for the Baileys Prize and serialised as Book at Bedtime on BBC Radio Four. It has been translated into fifteen languages.
We will be joined by the author, Vesna Goldsworthy.
Vesna Goldsworthy comes from Belgrade. At 24 she moved to the UK and started writing in English, her third language. Her widely-translated books include a prize-winning poetry collection The Angel of Salonika; an internationally bestselling memoir, Chernobyl Strawberries; and the London-based novels Gorsky and Monsieur Ka. A former BBC World Service journalist, she is now an academic and occasional broadcaster.
