JULY BOOK OF THE MONTH
GHOST MOUNTAIN
Ronan Hession
Order now and join the author at the bookclub meeting in August.
Ghost Mountain, is a simple fable-like novel about a mountain that appears suddenly, and the way in which its manifestation ripples through the lives of characters in the surrounding community. It looks at the uncertain fragile sense of self we hold inside ourselves, and our human compulsion to project it into the uncertain world around us, whether we’re ready or not. It is also about the presence of absence, and how it shadows us in our lives.
Mountains are at once unmistakably present yet never truly fathomable.
MAY CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE MONTH
Zohra Nabi
My own Yara, if you are reading this, then something terrible has happened, and you are on your own.
To return to the city of Zehaira, you must read out the words on the back of this letter . . .
Good luck, my brave girl. When Yara’s mother passes away, she leaves behind a letter and a strange set of instructions. Yara must travel from the home she has always known to a place that is not on any map – Zehaira, a world of sorcerers, alchemists and simmering magic.
But Zehaira is not the land it used to be. The practice of magic has been outlawed, the Sultan’s alchemists are plotting a sinister scheme and the answers Yara is searching for seem to be out of reach. Yara must summon all of her courage to discover the truth about her mother’s past and her own identity . . . and to find her place in this magical new world.
As well as the Tring Book Festival in November, we also host all kinds of literary events all year round including author interviews, book launches, children’s Storytelling and many other kinds of events.
