This Shared Reading session about Little Boy Lost by Margarita Laski is free to attend but please reserve your place in advance. 

In the old days we would have called Shared Reading 'prac crit', but basically it's a different way of doing a book group where you don't need to read the book in advance. Instead, the host hands round a copy of a passage from a book then reads some of it aloud; we stop and talk about it. That's it, really. But reading the literature like this in real-time means that everyone is involved in a shared, live experience. There's no pressure to say anything but you can if you want. All in all it's a particularly welcoming, friendly sort of book group. 

We are pleased to welcome Jamie Barton from The Reader in Liverpool to lead the Shared Reading groups
