Emily's Hampstead Heath Walking Book Clubs

Here are all the 2025 Hampstead Heath events for Emily's Walking Book Club. We meet monthly, on a Sunday morning, at Daunt Books Hampstead, for an hour and a half's walk on the Heath, while discussing a book. Join us!

Mr Ma and his son Ma Wei run an antiques shop tucked away in a quiet street by St Paul’s Cathedral. Far from their native Peking, they struggle to navigate the bustling London pavements and numerous social conventions. Inspired by the celebrated author’s time teaching at SOAS, and originally written for a Chinese readership, this is an eye-opening, moving, compelling and at times very funny portrait of a Chinese immigrant experience in 1920s London.Find out masses more about our books and sign up to our weekly newsletter at https://emilyswalkingbookclub.substack.com/N.B. Please ensure that you have read the book BEFORE coming on the walk - or it risks spoiling the event for other walkers. If you've don't quite have time to read the book, please consider instead joining the Monday evening Zoom, for which reading the book isn't a prerequisite.
