Let's discuss “The Centre” by Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi

What would you give for instant fluency in any language? “The Centre” is a darkly funny, unsettling debut novel about ambition, belonging, and the cost of assimilation — part thriller, part satire, all conversation-starter.

About the event:

You’re invited to join us 30 minutes before the event and stay for a drink with others after the book discussion.

Please read the book before attending - though we believe in the right not to finish! Completing the book isn’t a barrier to joining us, as long as you don't mind spoilers :)

We request a $3 contribution to help cover our monthly meetup platform costs of $41. Any additional funds will be donated to Amnesty International. Our conversations are lively, freewheeling, literary, and fun.
