Novel Steps |
 |
Combining the energetic discussion of a traditional book group with exploring our beautiful borough on foot, Novel Steps is a walking-and-reading group that meets monthly to chat about books, life, the universe, and everything. Each session follows a planned route, led by an experienced volunteer so you can focus on enjoying the gentle exercise, fresh air, and friendly conversation.
Walks are roughly three miles long, and copies of the books are provided in advance.
This month we will be walking from Richmond Green to Twickenham Riverside along the Thames tow path while discussing Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov. Winner of the 2023 International Booker Prize, this powerful novel follows the enigmatic Gaustine as he opens a 'clinic for the past' - a place that offers an escape from the horrors of the modern world where guests can immerse themselves in historically accurate rooms of the past.
