The Baby Friendly Book Club – November

Join us on Thursday 26th November from 10:30am in person. For this month’s Book Club, we are reading Earth 7 by Deb Olin Unferth.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a baby friendly session of our adult bookclub, parents are able to bring little ones and we understand there may be noise and interruption. Much like baby friendly movie screenings, the books will still contain adult themes and language etc. We ask that all in attendance understand and expect this.

Purchase the book and a ticket to the event for £10.99. The book can be delivered directly to you (please add your shipping address and tick the box for shipping) or you can collect it in store free of charge.

You can buy a book and ticket here.

If you already own a copy of the book, you can purchase a ticket alone for £3.

You can purchase a ticket only here.

For those unable to afford a book or ticket at present, we have a limited amount of complementary books/tickets. Please contact the bookshop via bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.pro or call 07597365380.

About the book

Two women, one raised in near solitude in a research pod in the depths of the ocean and one a luxury-resort bartender who may or may not be a robot, fall in love, cross deserts, gaze at the stars – and try not only to hold onto one another but together, possibly, salvage some trace of planet Earth.  

Heartbreaking, mind-expanding, soaring with beauty, Earth 7 is at once a love letter to the world and a portrait of its slow disappearance. It’s about love and grief, microbiology and astrophysics, robots and planet Mars, and humanity in all its greatness, absurdity and distress. Welding the deeply human to the thrillingly strange, fizzing with intelligence and profoundly moving, it is the novel we need right now, and for all times.
