FIRST BOOK CLUB MEETING-PITA CUTTING

First Book Club Meeting and Pita-Cutting!

In our first book club meeting we are discussing Bernadine Evaristo's novel "GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER" and we are cutting our 2023 Vassilopita. 
A few words about the author
Bernadine Evaristo is the Anglo-Nigerian award-winning author of books of fiction and verse fiction that explore aspects of the African diaspora: past, present, real, imagined. Her writing also spans short fiction, reviews, essays, drama and writing for BBC radio. She is professor of creative writing at Brunel University, London, and Vice Chair of the Royal Society of Literature.

As a literary activist for inclusion, she has founded several successful initiatives, including Spread the word writer development agency (1995-ongoing). the Complete Works mentoring scheme for poets of colour (2007-17) and the Brunel International Poetry Prize (2012-ongoing)

The Museum
Our annual pita-cutting day started with an interesting guided tour to the Museum of Wheat & Flour, by archaeologist and tour guide, Konstantina Kontsa. ETAL members and friends were guided in English to this newly created Museum, which is hosted in the listed building of Mill of Pappas.
