A cosy evening for women who love books - and women who’ve been meaning to read more since 2019
Oh, this one has our whole heart.
If you have been waiting for an evening that feels like it was made just for you, this is it. She Unfolds October Book Club is coming, and we are so genuinely thrilled to be opening the doors to something really rather special.
Come as you are. Bring your thoughts, your feelings, your dog-eared pages and your half-finished opinions. You are so welcome here.
Picture the evening
The room is warm. The conversation is flowing. Somewhere between the nibbles and the second glass of wine, someone says exactly what you were thinking but could not quite find the words for, and the whole table laughs, or sighs, or goes beautifully quiet.
That is the kind of evening we are creating for you.
A small, intimate gathering of women who love stories. Who love the way a good book can crack something open in you. Who love sitting with other women and talking honestly about the things that matter, even when those things are dressed up in fiction.
There will be something lovely to drink, homemade nibbles to share, and the kind of warmth in the room that makes you forget to check your phone.
No rushing. No performing. Just you, exactly as you are, in a space that is genuinely glad you came.
The books
This season we have chosen three beautiful titles, and we are leaving the reading entirely in your hands.
Read one. Read two. Read all three if the mood takes you. Dip in and out, read a chapter on your lunch break, stay up too late because you cannot put it down. However you come to these pages is the right way.
What matters is that you come.
The Names - Florence Knapp
Quiet, tender and achingly beautiful. This is a book about the stories we carry inside us - the ones we name and the ones we never quite dare to. Florence Knapp writes with such gentleness and precision that you will find yourself reading sentences twice just to sit inside them a little longer. A book that holds you softly and does not let go.
She Who Remains - Rene Karabash
There is something deeply moving about a woman who refuses to disappear. This is that story. Honest, courageous and full of a quiet kind of fire, it is the sort of book that reminds you of your own strength on the pages where you least expect it. Bring your thoughts on this one. There will be so much to say.
The Party Crasher - Sophie Kinsella
And because life needs lightness too, this one is an absolute delight. Funny, warm, completely unputdownable and the kind of read that makes you smile at strangers on the bus without meaning to. Sophie Kinsella has a gift for writing women who feel wonderfully, messily real. You are going to love her.
Bring someone you love
The best evenings are always sweeter when you share them.
Think of her now: your friend who always recommends the best books. Your daughter you have been meaning to have a proper night out with. Your sister who needs something just for her. Your mum, your colleague, the woman in your life who deserves a really beautiful evening and probably will not treat herself to one unless someone else suggests it first.
This is your sign. Send her the link. Tell her you are going together.

We would love to see you there
This evening is for you. For the part of you that loves stories. For the part that craves real conversation with women who feel like home. For the part that knows she needs, and deserves, an evening that fills her back up.
Tickets are available now. We would love for you to be part of this.
