📚🚶Loitering with Intent: on Zoom tonight

Dear walking book clubbers,
What better way to surf out a heatwave than walking talking about Muriel Spark’s Loitering with Intent!
Thanks so much to all of you who came along to our sunny Regent’s Park and Hampstead Heath walks this month. I have really enjoyed getting into the wonderfully messy, funny, strange and slippery weeds of this book with you all.

📚🚶July
Persuasion by Jane Austen
Anne Elliot seems to have resigned herself to living off her memories since, eight years’ ago, she dutifully broke off her engagement to a naval captain lacking in fortune, ancestry, and prospects. Then, when Anne encounters Captain Wentworth once again, she must learn to follow her own judgement amidst a sea of influence. The 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth is the perfect time to read her final novel.
Curious to know more? You might enjoy watching Miranda Mills’ Comfort Book Club episode on it, HERE.
