Flying Books at Neverland Book Club - Heart Lamp

We can't wait to discuss International Booker award-winner Banu Mushtaq's Heart Lamp with you.

Book club ticket price includes

• a glass of wine (or other beverage of your choice)
• a discussion with our passionate booksellers
• and a $20.00 credit towards the book of your choice.

In the twelve stories of Heart Lamp, Banu Mushtaq exquisitely captures the everyday lives of women and girls in Muslim communities in southern India. Published originally in the Kannada language between 1990 and 2023, praised for their dry and gentle humour, these portraits of family and community tensions testify to Mushtaq's years as a journalist and lawyer, in which she tirelessly championed women's rights and protested against all forms of caste and religious oppression.

Read the stories? We'd love to hear from you. Haven't yet? This is your chance.

Join us on Monday, October 27 or Tuesday, October 28 for a drink and a conversation about this moving book. Use your book credit towards our next book club pick, or anything in the store.
