Persuasion by Jane Austen + Christmas drinks

This year marks 250 years of Jane Austen, who was born shortly before Christmas 1775. To celebrate, we're reading Persuasion, her last-completed (and much-loved) novel, which was published right at the end of 1817, five months after her untimely death.

Our December session runs on into Christmas drinks (from 7-ish), so even if you haven't read the book, you're welcome to stop by to meet us or reconnect.

We’ll also be choosing the books we’ll read in the first half of next year.

Plus Secret Santa time… If you'd like to take part, bring along a book to swap in our book group Secret Santa (classic literature, of course). If you don't want to, or don't get a chance to, that's absolutely fine too :)

It’s all happening!

VENUE
We meet in the ‘Games Room’, The Library's private area overlooking Courtenay Place. After you enter the bar, head to your right (up the step) and through a smaller space with booths to the large carpeted space beyond.
