The Book Club: Intermezzo

​Join us for a fun night in Helsinki's living room, the Artek flagship store, where we will enjoy some Christmas snacks while discussing Sally Rooney's newest book, Intermezzo. Artek will also be gifting attendees with a 15% discount for you to use during December or on the night.
About The Book Club

​​This book club will be about more than just books. It will be a way to see different parts of Helsinki, connect with new people without the awkward small talk (books are a great way to bypass BS), and to eat delicious food.

​​What types of books will we read?

​​Books will mostly be literary fiction and memoirs set in different places from around the world or by authors from different parts of the world.

​​Who should attend?

​​Finns and foreigners who love books and can speak English (this book club is also a great place to practise English).

​​When will we meet?

​​Every 6-8 weeks to start with. There is no obligation to attend every meeting. Attend the sessions that interest you and that you are available to attend. Hopefully, there will always be a mix of familiar and new faces.

​​How will it work?

​​It will be very casual, so there is no need to do any homework. However, if you buy a ticket, you will get sent a The Book Club Book to take notes. At the event, we will break into groups of 5-7 people to talk about the book. I will provide some prompts, and I encourage you to bring your own questions about the book. There will be time for mingling before and/or after the book discussion. Some light refreshments will be provided.

​​Other things worth mentioning:

​​If you don’t read but just want to come along for the vibes and company, you’re more than welcome, but the majority of the discussion will be around the book.

The cost of the ticket includes:
25.5% VAT, catering, logistic costs, and administrative costs such as website hosting, etc.
