The Really Popular Book Club is Cambridge University Library's book group. Everyone is welcome to come and discuss a really popular book with the group, library staff, and an expert on the novel. Hosted on Zoom, the book club is completely free and open to everyone, people attend from all over the world. The Really Popular Book Club celebrates the huge range of books at Cambridge University Library. We have more than 8 million books and as a legal deposit library we keep a copy of every book published in the UK, and have done since 1710.
This Cambridge Festival we will be discussing the multi award-winning novel, 'Mr Loverman' by Bernardine Evaristo. Barrington Jedidiah Walker is dapper, funny and sexy 74 year old who leads a double life. Antiguan born and bred, he’s lived in Hackney since the sixties. He is a man truly in love - not with his wife of 50 years, but with his gay lover and childhood best friend, Morris. His marriage is breaking down, but is he brave enough to break away after a lifetime of fear and deception?
We’ll be joined by a special guest Yvonne Battle Felton, Academic Director of Creative Writing at the Cambridge University Institute of Continuing Education.
