Caro, Pauly, Sally, and Grandy are safe, so far, from the rising water that threatens to destroy the town and that has, perhaps, already destroyed everything else. But for how long?   A searing novel that takes on take on parenthood, sacrifice, love, and survival under the threat of extinction. What can be salvaged at the end of the world?   Costa Award shortlisted!

A Year with Jane Austen – Lady Susan & Sanditon

Austen reading group – Lady Susan, Sanditon

UPPSALA | Thursday 17 March at 19:00

Welcome to a Year with Jane Austen! We have been longing to give some focus to one of our favourite authors for a while, and now it’s time. Welcome to a Jane Austen year at The English Bookshop!

We start off with a reading group and discussion about two of her lesser known works: Sanditon and Lady Susan. This reading group meets up already in a week on Thursday 17th March at 19.00 in the bookshop to discuss these two short novels (so there’s still time to be able to read them before the meeting). They are both collected in the same book, which also brings you a third novel as a bonus – The Watsons.

Book your seat today! This will take place in the Uppsala shop, so please remember to book a seat in advance and prepare for tea and cakes and conversation!

Welcome on Thursday 17th March at 19.00, and hopefully we’ll get to know a favourite author a little bit better!

Stay tuned for more Austen events during this year with Jane Austen.

Ethan has always been one of the good guys, and for years, nobody has appreciated this fact more than his wife. Until now. Ethan finds himself caught between their regular meetings at his home and the battle to get his livewire daughter Alex to sleep. But the new, stilted rhythm of his life is interrupted when he receives a panicked message. Accusations. Against his business partner. A slew of them. And Ethan is abruptly forced to question everything: his past, his future, his marriage, and what he values most. Unfolding over five turbulent days in 2018, The Smash-Up wrestles shrewdly with some of the biggest questions of our time: What, exactly, does it mean to be a good guy?
