Het Woord uit Noord – our favourite monthly dose of culture – is back with De Leesclub, a monthly book club spotlighting local authors and featuring works aligning with our monthly theme.
Guided by Lot Douze, one of Het Woord uit Noord’s lovely hosts, the book club will talk about De Mierenkaravaan by Mariken Heitman.
De Mierenkaravaan delves into the cycles of decline and renewal, both in a vegetable garden and in human life. Heitman’s poignant storytelling explores the deep connections between nature’s rhythms and the personal transformations we experience. Her work resonates with themes of resilience, change, and the interwoven relationship between human beings and the environment. This book offers the perfect opportunity for De Leesclub to explore Heitman’s insight into life’s quiet yet profound shifts.
But this is not just any book club: Lot, with over 12 years of experience leading reading groups, brings her expertise and passion for literature to create conversations that inspire. And the conversation doesn’t stop at the end of this evening. One week after the book club meetup, during the following month’s Het Woord uit Noord, we dive deeper into the group’s insights and questions with none other than the author themselves.
So, mark your calendars for the 7th of April, where Mariken Heitman will join Lot for an in-depth interview. It’s not often a book club can go so deep!
Don’t wait too long to reserve your seat. Our little library is waiting, we’ve got coffee to brew and pages to burn through. The ticket price includes your copy of the book. So who’s ready for De Mierenkaravaan?
