BOOK OF THE WEEK: Daniel Deronda by George Eliot
As we launch our 75th JBW celebrations, what could be more fitting than Daniel Deronda. Eliot’s visionary portrait of Jewish identity astonished her contemporaries and feels even more vital now.

Delighted to be attending this brilliant conversation with a Genesis Emerging Writers alumnus on the mystery and revelation of retreat
"Do you have an obligation to remain in the world or is there something morally admirable about withdrawing?"
An absolute treat to hear Guy Stagg delve into his new book 'The World Within' at Waterstones this evening with Josh Cohen, a fascinating book about the artistic impulse to retreat.
