Thank you to everyone who came tonight! 💚

Lovely to meet/ see you again, and to geek out over 'Comorbidities', which was praised for its structure, characterisation and themes (and more). One person said it was like a modern day Mrs Dalloway!

See you again next time! 😊
Summer events coming soon including the return of our Short Story Club!
Join us on on Mon 20th May @ 19:00 - 20:00 BST, when hosts @devaneemily.bsky.social, Cathy Galvin and @hanakhalique.bsky.social will be discussing Naomi Wood's ‘Comorbidities’, winner of the 2023 BBC national short story award.
