The first Curious Readers Club of 2026 is epic. Join us on 27 January from 7-8:30pm to dig into Not a River by Selva Almada, translated by Annie McDermott.

We will dig into all the big ideas and small moments that made us feel the feelings. Annie will join us virtually to answer our questions about Selva’s books and the art of translation. Plus, when you register for this event, you get 10% off the book when you buy it in the shop (£11.99 RRP).

+ 7:00pm – Settle in with a drink & a biscuit

+ 7:15pm – Book club chat commences

+ 7:30pm – Q&A with Annie McDermott

+ 8:00pm – Book club chat continues

+ 8:30pm – End of event
