In celebration of the 250th birthday of Jane Austen, we are very excited to announce the Jane Austen Book Club here at Hatchards! Over the next year, we hope you can join us as we meet monthly to discuss each of Jane Austen's novels in turn.
The meetings will alternate between Hatchards, Piccadilly and Hatchards St. Pancras, with this month's meeting taking place at our St. Pancras shop.
Hosted by Hatchards booksellers Siena James and Rachel Holdway!
This month's book is:
Northanger Abey
With its irrepressible heroine and playful literary games, Northanger Abbey is the most youthful and optimistic of Jane Austen's novels. It tells the story of young, impressionable Catherine Morland, whose first experience of fashionable society introduces her to the thrills of Gothic romances, and to the sophisticated Tilneys, who invite her to their family home, Northanger Abbey. But there, influenced by novels of horror and intrigue, Catherine begins to think that terrible crimes are being committed, and her imagination threatens to run away with her.
Do join us for what promises to be an evening of scintillating discussion!
Your ticket includes a glass of wine or soft drink and £3 off the price of next month's book.
