English Readers Club

Join the informal group of English readers in Uitikon every second month  on Thursdays at 19.30h. We discuss all sorts of books: bestsellers, biographies, classics, thrillers etc.. The group is moderated and the books are proposed by Heidi Kunz, a native speaker, English teacher and avid reader. Heidi is also a long standing member at the Uitikon library.

The books can be purchased at the library. No registration is needed and you do not have to comit to attend each session or to even have fully read the book - we will simply be delighted to welcome you to an interesting evening!

Louise Kennedy: "Trespasses" (CHF 16.90)

**THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER (The Times), SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2023**. Like Sally Rooney mixed with a political thriller ´RUSSELL KANE'. Intense, unflinchingly honest, it broke my heart a million times 'MARIAN KEYES'. Absolutely loved it 'MAX PORTER'. A beautiful, devastating novel 'NICK HORNBY' - One by one, she undid each event, each decision, each choice. If Davy had remembered to put on a coat. If Seamie McGeown had not found himself alone on a dark street. If Michael Agnew had not walked through the door of the pub on a quiet night in February in his white shirt. There is nothing special about the day Cushla meets Michael, a married man from Belfast, in the pub owned by her family. But here, love is never far from violence, and this encounter will change both of their lives forever.
