Dear book group,

We have been invited to attend radio four's book club again:

Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ - Stay With Me

Wednesday 10 July at 1830 - BBC Broadcasting House, London W1A 1AA

We need to arrive at broadcasting house which is just north of Oxford Circus by 18.00.

You need to have read the book and send me two questions which I send to the producer.
