Bookshop Breakfast Social - April
Each month we share a fiction title to spark a relaxed, friendly conversation over breakfast. This is not a structured book group, it’s just an opportunity to talk about the book of the month in a relaxed manner, of course, if you loved it or hated it, others will want to know why. We might even mark it out of 10, or maybe we won’t, let’s see how it goes.
Whether you’ve finished the book or just fancy dipping in, everyone’s welcome. You can collect the monthly book from the shop a month ahead of the event.
We’ll provide a nourishing vegetarian breakfast Buddha Bowl, fresh coffee and juices, and you’ll be seated in the shop itself.
Come with someone, or come solo and connect with like-minded locals in Shoreham-by-Sea — it’s all about community, conversation, and a love of stories.
Think of it as a book club, but more relaxed — and with breakfast. Heaven right!?
April’s read will be The Kings Head by Kelly Frost – A fierce story about friendship and competition set among London’s forgotten girl gangs.
We never ran the place on paper, but we had reigned here as Kings, reigned over the world we created for ourselves.
1957, London. A gang of girls called the Kings rule the bomb-struck streets of Finsbury Park. When Harry, their unpredictable but charismatic leader, tries to encroach on the territory of the rival Seven Sisters gang, the Kings know they’re in for a fight.
Armed with flick knives and fists, they do battle in dancehalls and on football fields. But with the authorities closing in and conscripted boys threatening to reclaim what was once theirs, the Kings must ask if they’re willing to pay the price of loyalty…
