This month's book club pick is Bad Archive by Flora Feltham. You can buy your $5 tickets on Eventbrite or in-store on the night.

In this deftly woven work of memoir, Flora Feltham explores the corners where her memories are stashed: the archive vault, her mother's house,a marriage counsellor's office, the tip, and New World. She takes us on a frenzied bender in Croatia, learns tapestry, and meets romance novelists, all while wondering how families and relationships absorb the past, as well as everything unsaid about grief, mental illness, or even love. Most importantly, she asks, how do you write about a life honestly - when there are so many flaws in the way we record history and, more confrontingly, in the way we remember? Bad Archive is a lucid, continually surprising, funny and at times bracingly personal essay collection by the winner of the Letteri Family Prize for Creative Nonfiction in 2021.

As usual, there will be drinks and the $5 ticket is redeemable against purchases made in-store on the night.
