Emily's Zoom Book Club - March - Human Voices

Join our Zoom to discuss and discover more about Penelope Fitzgerald's ingenious novel about the BBC during the Second World War.
About this Event

This quiet, ingenious novel takes place in Broadcasting House during the Second World War, and draws on the author’s own experience of working for the BBC. Very little happens by way of plot; instead, Fitzgerald - with her signature combination of melancholy, sympathy and dry wit - explores dynamics between her characters, creates an incredibly palpable atmosphere and probes at the very essence of the human condition. Penelope Fitzgerald wrote nine novels, and we have discussed five of them in the book club - she’s one of my all-time favourite writers, and it is a great treat for me to discuss another of her subtle, disarmingly wonderful books with you too.

Everyone is welcome to join our Zoom, even if you've not read the book.
