We are thrilled to welcome Rozie Kelly to the shop for the launch of her debut novel KINGFISHER. Rozie will be in conversation with Adam Farrer, author of COLD FISH SOUP and BROKEN BISCUITS. Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. About the book: When a creative writing academic becomes infatuated with his colleague - the poet - it is not long before it begins to threaten his relationship with his partner, Michael. Michael is beautiful. Michael is safe. But the poet is everything he isn't; she has everything he wants. While he writes about steel and sex, she dreams about the movements of swallows. While he tends to his budding career, she writes from her big, white house in the woods. As he slips between his old life and this new one, his fixation grows into something more powerful. The poet, his Kingfisher, is his sole focus. He is hypnotised. But when simultaneous illnesses threaten to destroy the precarious reality he clings to, he's forced to question what he can and cannot take from someone. This is a novel about grief, power and desire - and the tangles in between that make up a life. About the author: Rozie Kelly is a prose writer based in West Yorkshire. After reading English Literature and Creative Writing she moved to Hebden Bridge, where she works for the Arvon Foundation, hosting creative writing courses. She was shortlisted for the PFD Queer Fiction Prize 2023 and is one of the eight participants in the inaugural Prototype Development Programme, which offers extended support and career development to emerging writers and artists. She won the 2024 NorthBound Book Award for Kingfisher, her debut novel. Tickets are £4.00. Admission is free when purchasing a copy of the book.

It is the oldest bookstore in Oxford University. The appearance is inconspicuous but the inside is very spacious. The layout is also very British. Of course, the most popular is the Harry Potter series, the &quot;Lord of the Rings&quot; series by Oxford professor John Tolkien. Professor C. S. Lewis of Oxford, The Legend of Narnia

Bridge of Sighs

陌染MM

The Bridge of Sighs (Oxford University, UK) is officially called Hertford Bridge. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. The construction of the Bridge of Sighs began in 1913 (completed in 1914). It crosses New College Road and connects the old and new parts of Hertford College. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. It was designed by Sir Thomas Jackson. Because the bridge is similar to the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, it is called the Bridge of Sighs. I came to Oxford University with a tour group and could only take a quick look.

For a few pounds you can climb to the top of the tower and enjoy a 360-degree view of Oxford, with the most stunning long strip of landscape and the city to the south. The church porch was built four or five hundred years ago, and its spiral columns are a major innovative feature in British architectural history.
