Also join us on Thursday 11th October from 6.30-8.30pm for the launch of Democracy Hacked: Political Turmoil and Information Warfare in the Digital Age by local author Martin Moore. Visit our website here for more information.
The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours - vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe...

This is a free event so do come along to hear Juliet discuss her work, and she will also be available to sign copies of the book.


Our Book of the Month: The Overstory by Richard Powers

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2018

"If you read one book this year, make it this one. It does for trees what Moby Dick did for whales. Read it and love weeds." - Patrick Neale, Jaffé & Neale 

"Autumn makes me think of leaves, which makes me think of trees, which makes me think of The Overstory, the best novel ever written about trees, and really, just one of the best novels, period." - Ann Patchett




 

Jaffé and Neale Bookclub:
November 2018

We have a thriving book club here at Jaffé & Neale which is free to join and there is no obligation to attend every month. Do join us on Wednesday the 7th November at 6.30pm, when we will be discussing the atmospheric Devil's Day by Andrew Michael Hurley:

"...After the blizzard of a century ago, it was weeks before anyone got in or out. By that time, what had happened there, what the Devil had done, was already fable. Devil's Day is a day for children now, of course.

A tradition it's easy to mock, from the outside. But it's important to remember why we do what we do. It's important to know what our grandfathers have passed down to us.

Because it's hard to understand, if you're not from the valley, how this place is in your blood. That's why I came back, with Kat; it wasn't just because the Gaffer was dead. Though that year we may have let the Devil in after all..."

 
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on 01608 641033, email us at info@jaffeandneale.co.uk, or stop by the bookshop and speak to a member of staff.

More information is also available on our website: www.jaffeandneale.co.uk.

We hope to see you soon.
