Book Club at the Horton Hospital Library In-Person
This month we are reading The Bookbinder of Jericho by Pip Williams. The book follows Peggy - a bookbinder at Oxford University Press - during a tumultuous period in women's history. As social norms shift in the wake of the First World War, Peggy is brought together with women from all walks of life, and comes face-to-face with new opportunities and challenges.

We are a very informal book club that meets on the third Tuesday of every month at the Terence Mortimer Education Centre, Horton Hospital, Banbury. The books we read are selected by book club attendees in rotation, and everyone will get a chance to talk about what they liked or didn't like about it. Regular attendance is encouraged, but there is no pressure to come to every session if it doesn't suit you. Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided!
