About this Event
Slow Reading gives you the chance to get to know a book you have read before and loved, and works as a taster for a book you’ve always wanted to read.
There is no pressure to read the book, extracts will be provided.
We’ll read excerpts from The Manchester Man, explore Isabella Banks writing of this novel, discuss the story, characters and how this book fits into industrial Manchester’s history — or wherever your ideas take our conversation. Writing under the pseudonym Mrs G. Linneaus Banks, Isabella Banks was a member of the original Sun Inn Poets.
