It's time to play the music with the winner of our next book club poll, Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki.

A brilliant, cursed violinist must win her soul back from the devil by convincing seven musical prodigies to sell their souls for fame. She's on six, but a young transgender runaway is not at all what she expected to find for her seventh. Nor did she expect to find something akin to warmth in a donut shop run by a retired starship captain in the San Gabriel Valley.

We follow the three women as their lives cross in this award-winning story of fate, magic, identity and family. Please note that this book includes adult themes such as homo/transphobia, sexual/physical abuse and harassment, racism, and war.

The Centurion is a relaxed, elegant and spacious bar with comfortable seating and a quiet atmosphere, well-suited to literary conversations! 📕🍷

Converted from the historic first class lounge at Central Station 🚂✨, its luxuriant environs are situated at ground floor level, easily accessible, with public transport links aplenty nearby. If you’re feeling peckish there are various shops adjacent that you can pick up nibbles from.

This is an open session, so feel free to drop by at any time during the evening - we’re pretty easy-going ☺️.

Hope you can join us! 🤩
