Join The Second Shelf and VINTAGE to celebrate the latter’s re-issue of six of the British novelist and philosopher Iris Murdoch’s greatest and most timeless novels. This summer VINTAGE is celebrating great books by women. Revisit your favourites, discover new writers and fill your bookshelf and your summer with women’s voices. Published to commemorate Murdoch's centenary, these special editions feature new introductions by some of today’s best writers: Bidisha, Garth Greenwell, Sophie Hannah, Daisy Johnson, Charlotte Mendelson, and Sarah Perry.

The event will feature short readings from Murdoch’s novels, followed by a panel discussion in which The Second Shelf’s Managing Editor Lucy Scholes will be joined by broadcaster, critic and journalist Bidisha, Man Booker Prize shortlistee Daisy Johnson, and Man Booker and Baileys Women’s Prize longlistee Charlotte Mendelson, after which there will be an audience Q&A.
