In store now! Elizabeth Finch by Julian Barnes

From the Booker Prize winning author of The Sense of an Ending, Elizabeth Finch is yet another masterclass in character and refined prose. Spare, clear, and simple, Barnes recounts the intimate story of an unassuming teacher with a buried past. 

Told with his trademark grace and empathy, Elizabeth Finch is a novel about the pain of memory, and the beauty of recounting.

Elizabeth Finch by Julian Barnes

Paperback £9.99

Elizabeth Finch was a teacher, a thinker, an inspiration. Neil is just one of many who fell under her spell during his time in her class. Tasked with unpacking her notebooks after her death, Neil encounters once again Elizabeth's astonishing ideas on the past and on how to make sense of the present.

But Elizabeth was much more than a scholar. Her secrets are waiting to be revealed… and will change Neil's view of the world forever.

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store. 

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
