  • The Anson Room at St Margaret's House 21 Old Ford Road London, England, E2 9PL United Kingdom (map)

The St Margaret's House Book Club will next meet on Monday 20th October from 6.30pm when we will be sharing thoughts on Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle in the Anson Room. Come through the main front door and ring the bell for someone to come and collect you.

About the book:

Taking readers deep into a labyrinth of dark neurosis, We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a deliciously unsettling novel about a perverse, isolated, and possibly murderous family and the struggle that ensues when a cousin arrives at their estate.

For our 2025 book selection, we will alternate between two themes - animal protagonists, and genre fiction (a different genre for each of the 6 months of this theme)

For those wishing to get a head start, in November we will have our final animal protagonist read, The Book of Chameleons by José Eduardo Agualusa.

Venue: The Anson Room, 21 Old Ford Road, E2 9PL

Date: Monday 20th October

Time: 6.30pm

Ticket: Free (booking is essential)

Access: If you have any access needs of which we should be aware, please let us know. Entry to The Anson Room is not step-free.
