Description

Join Emily Rhodes for her walking book club in Regent’s Park discussing Penelope Fitzgerald’s brilliant novel Human Voices.

This quiet, ingenious novel takes place in Broadcasting House during the Second World War, and draws on the author’s own experience of working for the BBC. Very little happens by way of plot; instead, Fitzgerald – with her signature combination of melancholy, sympathy and dry wit – explores dynamics between her characters, creates an incredibly palpable atmosphere and probes at the very essence of the human condition.

For the benefit of your fellow walkers, please ensure you have read the book beforehand!

Please meet at the bookshop for 10am where you will set off on your walk with Emily, returning to the bookshop for 11.30am. 

Ticket price includes a tasty bite from La Fromagerie
