June Book Club: Wild Strawberries

Join us this June at the Surbiton Literary Salon for a refreshing change of pace with Wild Strawberries by Angela Thirkell—a perfect summer read! This delightful comedy of manners, set in the idyllic English countryside, brings a lighter touch after our recent darker selections. Expect witty dialogue, eccentric characters, and plenty of laughter as we enjoy Thirkell’s satirical take on family, romance, and social niceties.

The Surbiton Literary Salon continues to grow into a vibrant community of book lovers. Whether you’ve read the book cover to cover or just want to soak in the discussion, all are welcome! Expect thoughtful insights, great company, and a warm, bookish atmosphere.

We'll be meeting in the private Simpson Study near the front of the pub, where we’ll discuss the book for about an hour before relaxing with drinks and continuing the conversation informally.

📚 A note on space: The room we use can hold a maximum of 11 people. Since many of our regular attendees don’t RSVP via Meetup, we’re making just 5 spots available to new members through this page to avoid going over capacity. If you're unable to attend, can you please cancel your RSVP to open up space for someone on the waiting list? Thank you for understanding—we just want to make sure everyone has a seat and a good experience!

✨ New members welcome – no need to have attended before. Join us for an evening of great books and lively conversation. We look forward to seeing you there!
