Is your New Year's resolution to read more in 2026? If so, the Chester Beatty has the book club for you!

Every three months, our Friends book club meets for low-stakes, feel-good discussion of a book with cross-cultural connections. Thoughtful literary fiction, vibrant fantasy, fascinating micro-histories, work in translation - we've read them all!

This new year, we're reading The Interpreter's Daughter by Teresa Lim. Part history, part memoir, it traces the fortunes of one family across the decades, from 19th century south China to 1940s Singapore.

You'll find copies at the Chester Beatty shop - and, when you become a Friend, you get a year-round 10% discount. Become a member today and join the discussion on 26th February. We can't wait to see you there 🧡
