What is nostalgia, and what happens when our memories aren't accompanied by the rose-tinted memories typically associated with the feeling?
As Open Book welcomes the new theme of nostalgia for this month's sessions, Claire and Marjorie read short story 'Reverie' by Kimberley White and 'Nigh No Place' by Jen Hadfield.
Open Book will be at Edinburgh International Book Festival at various dates throughout August. Come along to one of our free (ticketed) shared reading sessions, where our Lead Readers will be exploring the writings of debut authors visiting the festival. Join us at the café in Edinburgh College of Art from 10-11am on 14, 16, 18, 21, 23 and 25 August. Find out more at edbookfest.co.uk
