BookBar BookClub: Birnam Wood with Eleanor Catton

Sign up, receive your book in advance of the book club with plenty of time to read it, send in the questions and discussion points you'd like us to talk about, and join a vitual interview with the author, in which we'll discuss the book.
 
We can't wait to welcome Eleanor Catton to the BookBar BookClub in February to discuss BookBar's Book of the Year, Birnam Wood, an unputdownable thriller of Shakespearan proportions.
​
Birnam Wood is on the move... A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass in New Zealand's South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike, leaving a sizable farm abandoned. The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, a guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice.

But they hadn't figured on the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine, who also has an interest in the place. Can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each other?
 
A propulsive literary thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama and immersion in character. It is a brilliantly constructed tale of intentions, actions and consequences, and an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.
 
Read a paperback copy of Birnam Wood and join us for a virtual interview with the author, Eleanor Catton, on Tuesday 27th February 2024 at 7pm.
 
If you are a member of the BookBar BookClub you'll be able to sign up to join us for an in-person discussion group on Wednesday 6th March 2024 at our bookshop and social space from 6:30-7:30pm. Members will be sent a link to sign up to the limited spaces.
 
Your ticket price includes a paperback copy of the book, as well as attendance at the virtual event. Buy a ticket to a single event for £18 or subscribe to the book club for £15 a month. 
 
Please note: We send out copies of the book at the same time each month, so our usual delivery time frame does not apply to the BookClub. You will receive an email when your copy has been dispatched or is ready for collection. Please visit our BookClub FAQs page for more details.
