Book Club - Tuesday - The Flea Palace

Set within a once-stately apartment block in Istanbul, The Flea Palace tells the story of Bonbon Palace, built by Russian noble émigré Pavel Antipov for his wife Agripina at the end of the Tsarist reign. It is now sadly dilapidated, flea-infested, and home to ten very different individuals and their families. Elif Shafak gives us a bird’s-eye insight into each apartment, and we see their comic and tragic lives unfold.

Do you love books? Want to get out of your reading rut and be introduced to new and exciting authors? Fancy meeting up with like-minded souls to talk about books for a couple of hours?
Then come along to our friendly local Book Group and meet others who share your passion for all things literary. We’re a relaxed lot, so it doesn’t matter whether you devoured the book in one sitting or gave up after two pages – just come and tell us what you thought, and hear what others made of it too.

All opinions welcome – we start with the book, but the discussion can end up anywhere.
Discounts are available on chosen books.
