BookClub - Monday 6th July

Join us on Monday 6th July as we continue our 2026 BookClub series.

This month we will be exploring "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini. 

Join our WhatsApp GroupChat to vote on which text we should cover this month, and to access a free copy in advance of Book Club.

📖 If you don't have time to read the full book, don’t worry. Our discussions are accessible to everyone. We will share a summary and discussion prompts ahead of the session, and our facilitator will guide the conversation to ensure it remains thoughtful, grounded, and relevant.

This month’s event is kindly supported by the City of Westminster Multi-Faith Network and Victoria Library, who have generously provided the venue for our gathering.
