Classics Club - Great Expectations

For August, we're reading Charles Dickens' penultimate (and arguably greatest) novel, GREAT EXPECTATIONS.

Dickens's funny, frightening and tender portrayal of the orphan Pip's journey of self-discovery, is one of his best-loved works. Showing how a young man's life is transformed by a mysterious series of events - an encounter with an escaped prisoner; a visit to a black-hearted old woman and a beautiful girl; a fortune from a secret donor - Dickens's late novel is a masterpiece of psychological and moral truth, and Pip among his greatest creations.

Join us at our bi-monthly classics bookclub, tackling a classic you might not have read since school.

Your ticket includes small batch, natural sodas from Mischief Brew and snacks, and a $2 donation to Literacy For Life, a First Nations-run charity training local people to deliver literacy classes in their communities.

Your ticket does not include the book.
