Sept 2025 Book Club - 'People with No Charisma' by Jente Posthuma
Event description
We're welcoming in the warmer months with our BBLE Book Club pick for September: People with No Charisma by Jente Posthuma (trans. Sarah Timmer Harvey)!
'An unnamed narrator grows up overshadowed by her unconventional mother, an ex–Jehovah’s Witness and former television star with an inferiority complex. Her father is the head of a psychiatric institution, whose only form of parenting is to offer his daughter the same life advice he dispenses to his patients. Reserved and somewhat aloof, he chooses not to intervene when his wife obsesses about charisma, calorie counting, and turning their daughter into a child prodigy.'
Join us on Thursday September 11th 6pm in the Reading Room @ Berkelouw Books Leichhardt, and if you haven't already, you can pick up a copy of this quirky book in-store now.
