Join Tracy Lowe online every second Wednesday of the month for our free staff book club.

Tracy is an Academic Skills Tutor, working with the Academic Engagement Team within Libraries Learning Resources. She has worked for NTU libraries for over 10 years and loves her job (her words!). She loves books; buying them, reading them, reviewing them, sharing them and talking about them. Join Tracy to chat about our book of the month and enjoy some general book chat too.

No need to book, just join online.

Our book for May — My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout

Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken for many years, comes to see her.

Gentle gossip about people from Lucy’s childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy’s life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters.

Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable. Join us in May to let us know what you thought.
