LMA Book Group: Guy Ware - The Peckham Experiment

Meeting monthly to explore a range of London writing, with a remit covering fiction and non-fiction for all periods in London's History.

For each session, a display of original archive material is available to stimulate discussion. All are welcome to attend - though if you haven't read the book there may well be spoilers!

The LMA Book Group remains a virtual discussion group and we meet monthly via Zoom.

In May we will be reading Guy Ware's recent novel "The Peckham Experiment". A novel which tracks the twentieth century in London from the 1930s onwards through the fragmentary memories of the 85 year-old Charlie, whose identical twin brother JJ has recently died. Sons of a working-class Communist family, growing up in the radical Peckham Experiment and orphaned by the Blitz, the twins emerge from the war keen to build the New Jerusalem.
