Bookish Club returns for 2026 as Virginia Trioli leads a spirited deep-dive into Daphne du Maurier’s gothic classic Rebecca.
Start your reading year the right way with Bookish Club – where the conversation is lively, the wine and nibbles flow, and the book on the table is always worth getting lost in.
For this edition, special guest Virginia Trioli has chosen Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier’s atmospheric tale of love, murder and unsettling secrets. The novel follows a naïve young woman whose marriage to a charismatic widower sweeps her into life at Manderley, a grand and isolated estate. But as she settles into her new role as mistress of the house, the lingering presence of her husband’s first wife begins to shadow every corner. Who was Rebecca de Winter and what really happened to her?
Join Trioli for a rich and revealing discussion of this enduringly suspenseful masterpiece. The floor will be open throughout, with plenty of opportunities for you to share your own thoughts and favourite moments from the book.
Strictly for audiences 18 and older. Drinks and nibbles will be provided.
Ticket holders are strongly encouraged to read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier before attending this event so that they can contribute to the conversation in true book club fashion.
We recommend purchasing a copy from your favourite local bookstore or borrowing a copy from a library.
