Join us for the Thursday Book Club!
Hello book lovers and welcome to Bàrd Books for another Singles Book Club. Each month we pick a new book: something you’ve hopefully not discovered, something new and exciting to discuss with other like-minded book lovers. We’ll have some questions to get the conversation started, so all you need to do is read the book, turn up and be ready to chat.
What a better way to meet someone than in the pages of a book or over the pages of a book…
Come for the book chat, stay for the chemistry!
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE BOOK BEFORE ATTENDING!
Bàrd Books on Roman Road – 18th June!
Book of the month:
The Silver Book by Olivia Laing
– Queer love story meets true crime thriller in the dream factory of 1970s cinema, from the award-winning, bestselling author, Olivia Laing.
‘Sublime’ The New York Times
It is dangerous to want someone this much. He has always known it, from the very first night.
It is September 1974. Two men meet by chance in Venice. One is a young English artist, in panicked flight from London. The other is Danilo Donati, the magician of Italian cinema, the designer responsible for realising the spectacular visions of Fellini and Pasolini. Donati is in Venice to produce sketches for Fellini’s Casanova. A young – and beautiful – apprentice is just what he needs.
He sweeps Nicholas to Rome, into the looking-glass world of Cinecittà, the studio where Casanova’s Venice will be ingeniously assembled. Then in the spring, the lovers move together to the set of Salò, Pasolini’s horrifying fable of fascism.
But Nicholas has a secret and in this world of constant illusion, his real nature passes unseen. Amidst the rising tensions of Italy’s ‘Years of Lead’, he acts as an accelerant, setting in motion a tragedy he didn’t intend.
