Truman’s Book Club Social – Wed 11th March
March 11 @ 18:30 – 20:00
At Truman’s Book Club Social in March, hosted at Cargo Wines here in Farsley, we’ll be discussing the book Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata.
A ticket to attend Truman’s Book Club Social is £18. This includes the book (which will be available for you to collect in the shop once you’ve made a booking online) and your first drink on the evening (beer, wine or soft drink). If you already have the book, you can select a ticket that will include a £10 Truman’s Gift Voucher instead of a book.
About the Book
‘Exhilaratingly weird and funny… Unsettling and totally unpredictable – my copy is now heavily underlined’ – Sally Rooney
Meet Keiko. She’s 36 years old, has never had a boyfriend, and she’s been working in the same supermarket for eighteen years.
Keiko’s family wishes she’d get a proper job. Her friends wonder why she won’t get married. But Keiko knows what makes her happy, and she’s not going to let anyone come between her and her convenience store…
A cult hit around the world, Convenience Store Woman is both a feminist rallying cry and a must-read oddball comedy.
‘A gem of a book. Quirky, deadpan, poignant and quietly profound’ – Ruth Ozeki
When & Where?
This Truman’s Book Club Social will take place on Wednesday 11th March, 6.30pm (for a 7pm start), at Cargo Wines, Sunny Bank Mills. One of the benefits of us hosting our Book Club in a Wine Bar means that when the book chat is done, if you wish, you’re free to stay on to continue to enjoy the company and the conversation, and maybe another drink or two.
We’d like a relaxed evening of booky chat, so if the thought of sitting round in a big circle feels a little intimidating, this is the Book Club for you. Our aim is to have a more informal feel, with smaller groups sat chatting around tables. We can help you find a seat and make sure everyone feels comfortable.
We’re thinking an hour of chat about the month’s book (and the topics and experiences it leads to). In the future, we’d love to be able to welcome guest authors to join us to discuss their books.
Hope to see you there!
