Resurgence & Ecologist book club
To help each other connect in self-isolation, we are launching a new online book club. Join us for regular club meetings and Q&As with authors.
While perimeters are defining the times like never before, we shouldn't forget the power of connecting with Nature and unleashing the imagination. That's why we are beginning this adventure with Jini Reddy's new book, Wanderland, published by Bloomsbury. In this celebration of the joy of roaming, Jini searches for the magical in the landscape and revels in finding her place within it. Voted by the Observer as Book of the Day, Jini's journey is both witty and moving, described by writer Robert MacFarlane as "a very modern quest for the magical (not the mythical) in Britain's landscape."
You can read more about this wonderful - and wanderful - journey in her article 'The Magical Other Woman', published in the March/April issue of Resurgence & Ecologist magazine.
Jini will join Marianne Brown for a 30-minute Q&A on 29 May 2020 at 14:00. This will be followed by a separate meeting for the book club to discuss the book at 14:40.
If you would like to join the meetings, please send an email to bookclub@resurgence.org and you will receive the login details. We also welcome questions for the Q&A and book club. These should be sent in a separate email with the subject line QUESTION FOR MAY BOOK CLUB.
To receive 30% off your copy of Wanderland, enter the code WANDERLAND30 when buying direct from Bloomsbury.
We very much look forward to seeing you there!
