Join us for a brilliant evening with bestselling author, Julia Armfield, discussing her latest novel 
Private Rites.
 A stunning, unsettling novel following three sisters navigating queer love and faith at the end of the world.
About the Book
It’s been raining for a long time now, for so long that the lands have reshaped themselves and the cities have retreated to higher storeys. Old places have been lost. Arcane rituals and religions have crept back into practice.Sisters Isla, Irene and Agnes have not spoken in some time when their estranged father dies. A famous architect revered for making the new world navigable, he had long cut himself off from public life. They find themselves uncertain of how to grieve his passing when everything around them seems to be ending anyway.As the sisters come together to clear the grand glass house that is the pinnacle of his legacy, they begin to sense that the magnetic influence of their father lives on through it. Soon it becomes clear that others have also taken an interest in both his estate and in them, and that perhaps their inheritance may not be theirs alone.

我們進行了一次專門的旅行並度過了愉快的幾個小時。錯層有很多值得一看的地方，可以讓你保持興趣。企鵝很好，章魚也出現了，我們很想看到更多的水獺。我的孫女很喜歡這一切，隧道裡的烏龜很漂亮。它很乾淨，我們度過了一段愉快的時光，肯定會回去，工作人員很樂於助人，
它真的很不錯，值得一次又一次地參觀。

對於一個較小的城鎮,藝術博物館也很棒。我們真的很喜歡我們的訪問,如果你要去伯明翰,我們會推薦它。一定要提前打電話看看它們是否開放。

維多利亞廣場

放飞自我去游玩

我們去酒店放下行李后，去吃了一頓米其林一星餐館的大餐，然後開始認識這座城市。首先我們來到了維多利亞廣場，一座仿希臘神廟的建築很吸引眼球，這居然是他們的市政廳，它邊上一座漂亮的巴洛克建築是伯明翰博物館和美術館，也可以免費参觀，於是進去小逛了一下，人不多，展品還是挺豐富的，從古埃及的到現在藝術品，都有展出。

有中超，酒樓，還有很多其他特色餐廳選擇。在這裏不難找到想吃的東西。不過今次選了這間酒樓，食物有點令人失望。
