CAROUSEL BOOK CLUB
Book of the Month: Caro Claire Burke “Yesteryear”
29 July, 19:00 | Location: TBA
About the book:
Rather than treating the past as something nostalgic or desirable, Yesteryear questions the stories we choose to romanticize. It explores the gap between curated identities and lived experience, asking what remains when the performance ends. Blending satire with psychological tension, the novel reflects on freedom, gender roles, and the cost of turning an ideal into a way of life.
It is a sharp, unsettling story about the myths we inherit — and the realities we often choose not to see.
Timing:
19:00 meet and greet
19:30—20:30 discussion
20:30—21:30 free talk (up to you)
Language:
English (we are always free and open to help with any needed translation).
Ticket:
Includes participation, a glass of wine or kombucha and snacks. Ticket refunds are possible no later than 24h before the event.
