___________________________________________

The book club is developed and led by Dr Sarah Robertson (UWE English Literature), whose current research is on climate change and literature.

The book club is free of charge and you can join by dropping-in with no prior booking (though it would be great if you could let Sarah know at Sarah.Robertson@uwe.ac.uk if you are intending to join, just so she has a rough idea of numbers). It takes place on the first Tuesday of every month from 7pm to 9pm.
