Book Club - The Salt Path
2025-10-06 20:00 - 21:30 (Europe/London)
Please join us from 8pm on Monday 6th October to discuss
The Salt Path
The Salt Path is a 2018 memoir, nature, and travel book by Raynor Winn. It details the long-distance walk along the South West Coast Path, in South West England, by Winn and her husband, Moth, after they (allegedly!!!) lost their home, and Moth was diagnosed with fatal corticobasal degeneration (CBD). We’ve left this on our list as it is still a good read and there is plenty to discuss about recent revelations!

2025-11-03 20:00 - 21:30
Please join us from 8pm on Monday 3rd November to discuss
Unmaking Mary
Unmaking Mary (Chine McDonald)
For two thousand years, the Virgin Mary has been depicted throughout art, literature and culture as symbolising the perfect mother: chaste, beautiful, meek, mild and white. These supposed virtues and symbols have penetrated not just Christianity but wider popular culture; and contributed to harmful views about motherhood and what it is to be a woman. In this part-memoir, part social and theological commentary, Chine McDonald deconstructs the myth of perfect motherhood and shines a light on the dark side of parenting. ‘A deeply valuable reflection on motherhood’ Rowan Williams
