When grief redefines your world, how do you build a new one? Join us for Show Me Where It Hurts, Claire Gleeson’s piercing debut about loss, trauma and the fragile threads of recovery. Then we’ll descend into the moody depths of Flesh & Buns, where bao buns, smoky skewers, and fizzy drinks await. Share stories, sip something warm (or sharp), and lean on the literary company around you.

In May, we’re reading Minbak by Ela Lee — a haunting, multi-generational novel set between South Korea and London that explores family, exile and the echoes of history. Join us for thoughtful conversation and brunch at Bondi Green, Paddington — a sun-soaked canal-side haven for book lovers and brunchers alike.

On a farm choking with heat and secrets, two boys meet and a hidden bond forms. The South by Tash Aw is radiant, painful, longing. Join us for our online discussion then slip into Megan’s Old Town, Clapham. Fairy-lit ceilings, olive trees overhead, sharing plates and mimosas: the kind of brunch that feels like a day-off, even when it’s just midday.
