Truman’s Book Club Social – Wed 9th July
July 9 @ 18:30 – 20:00
At Truman’s Book Club Social in July, hosted at Cargo Wines here in Farsley, we’ll be discussing the book, ‘Piglet’ by Lottie Hazell.
A ticket to attend Truman’s Book Club Social is £15. This includes the book (that 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
Discover a deliciously dark and piercing story of food and secrets, a Stylist Best Debut Novel.
‘A sharp, dark, must-read story about appetite, ambition, secrecy and shame’ – Daily Mail
‘If I owned a bookstore, I’d hand-sell Piglet to everyone’ – New York Times Book Review
‘A dark, weird, satisfying tale about greed and desire’ – i News
Her life is so full, so why is she hungry?
For Piglet – an unshakable childhood nickname – getting married is her opportunity to reinvent. Together, Kit and Piglet are the picture of domestic bliss – effortless hosts, planning a covetable wedding…
But if a life looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Thirteen days before they are due to be married, Kit reveals an awful truth, cracking the façade Piglet has created. It has the power to strip her of the life she has so carefully built, so smugly shared.
To do something about it would be to self-destruct. But what will it cost her to do nothing?
As the hours count down to their wedding, Piglet is torn between a growing appetite and the desire to follow the recipe, follow the rules. Surely, with her husband, she could be herself again. Wouldn’t it be a waste for everything to curdle now?
Piglet is a searing, unforgettable and original debut which is taking readers by storm.
When & Where?
Truman’s Book Club Social will take place on Wednesday 9th July, 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!
