More about CityRead London 2016 - "Ten Days"
Our choices include the latest CityRead London 2016 selection - "Ten Days" by Gillian Slovo which we have chosen to read in June.
CityRead London is a month long annual festival in April 2016 of reading when everyone across London is invited to read and discuss the same book. The chosen title this year is Ten Days by Gillian Slovo, a new novel which was published on 3 March 2016 by Canongate. We will be discussing the book on Thursday 16 June 2016 at 7.30pm.
Gillian Slovo is an Orange Prize shortlisted author. Her latest book is a political thriller set in London which is told from three perspectives - a newly appointed Police Chief, the Home Secretary and Cathy Mason, a resident on an estate due to be demolished. The themes are portest and rebellion and what happens when politics, policing and reality collide in London.
CityRead London comprises a month long programme of events across all London boroughs including in Enfield.
