Pages in places what is it

What is Pages in Places?

What is Pages in Places Pages in Places is a community-based “open-for-all” book club based in Copenhagen and run by Claudia Bhimra and Caroline Stordal. Every month, they choose a new book. All you have to do to participate is buy a copy and read along. The choice of book is influenced by the season and the feelings and mood the reader should have in that particular month. 
Members can read along with Pages in Places from anywhere in the world, but the monthly book clubs take place in Copenhagen and spots are open on a first-come, first-served basis.

January Club book - The Safekeep from Yael Van Der Wouden

139,95 DKK

For January's book club we will read Yael Van Der Wouden's 'The Safekeep'. An exhilarating tale of twisted desire, histories, and homes — perfect for readers of Patricia Highsmith, Sarah Waters, and Atonement. Fifteen years after WWII, Isabel lives alone in rigid order until her brother arrives with his girlfriend, Eva. A charged summer brings buried longings and dark revelations to the surface, unraveling Isabel’s carefully constructed world in a gripping psychological drama of control and revenge.

PagesinplaceshowdoIattend

How do I attend?

Once you have the Book of the Month, you’re officially part of the club. We start reading on the first of each month, and that’s also when we open sign-ups and announce details for our physical meet-ups. Spots are limited and often fill up fast. If you can’t join us in Copenhagen, you can still take part through our online discussions on Substack after each book is completed.

PagesinplaceswhatcanIexpect

What can I expect?

Pages in Places' monthly book clubs invite you into a community where the book of the month brings participants together. Here you can share your thoughts, listen to others' perspectives and meet new people in an environment that is safe, informal and open to everyone. Most people typically attend alone, so it is a natural place to form new relationships, especially if you come with an open mind and a desire to meet new people. Pages in Places strives to make every book club memorable. Sometimes the book club takes place at a new café, other times participants share a meal in beautiful surroundings or meet at a place that draws inspiration from the book of the month.
