Do you enjoy both classics as well as contemporary fiction? Are you interested in seeing the story leap from page to screen?
Curzon Cinemas are looking for a small group of individuals to join the Curzon Book Club. We need people who are available to meet up on a weekly basis (for 2-3 weeks) to ‘chew the fat’ over the latest chapters they have just read with other avid bookworms, before seeing the film on the big screen.
As a Curzon Book Club member you will be given a complimentary copy of the book, all we ask in return is you tweet your thoughts and ideas about the book and eventually the film!
Curzon Book Club kicks off with Charlotte Brontë’s gothic classic Jane Eyre:
Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead and subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. She takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, falls in love with Mr Rochester, and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman’s passionate search for a richer life than that traditionally allowed women in Victorian society.With a heroine full of yearning, the dangerous secrets she encounters, and the choices she finally makes, Charlotte Brontë's innovative and enduring romantic novel continues to engage and provoke readers. (Penguin Books)
The meetings for Jane Eyre will be held on Tuesdays at Curzon Mayfair and Thursdays at hmvcurzon Wimbledon.
The film adaptation of Jane Eyre opens on 9 September at Curzon Chelsea, Curzon Mayfair, Curzon Richmond and hmcurzon Wimbledon.
Booking is now open.
If you are interested in joining the Jane Eyre Curzon Book Club, please email
