This monthly event is a chance to hear an expert speak about a book they have chosen and offer a greater depth and understanding of the book.
We have purchased additional copies of the book so you can read ahead of the session but it's not essential. Writers and lovers of literature will especially enjoy the unpacking of this work.
You can take part in the discussion or simply sit back and learn.
This month, the featured book for discussion is One hundred Years Of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Our guest presenter is Dr Carmen Saucedo Segami.
