don’t know about you, but as soon as autumn sets in, there’s little more appealing to me than curling up with a good book. After a summer of guiltily adding books to my ‘to read’ pile then swanning off to a sunny beer garden, the chilly, dark evenings are a brilliant excuse to shut out the world and cosy up with a great read. Top of my list is this month’s Edition Book Club pick: Platform Seven by Louise Doughty. A supernatural thriller set in – of all places – Peterborough train station, it’s got ghosts, revelations, twists, turns and a fiendish whodunnit mystery at its centre. Read our interview with the author on page 20. If you’re not ready to hibernate just yet, good news:
October is one of the busiest months in the Cambridge calendar. The Festival of Ideas is back, offering a chance to see our city flexing its brainpower as academics, authors and more come together to discuss some of the biggest challenges facing humanity, from artificial intelligence to saving the planet. We get the lowdown on page 28. Another big hitter, Cambridge Film Festival returns for its 39th instalment this month – bringing the usual mix of indie films, documentaries, world cinema and blockbusters to the city from 17 to 24 October. We speak to Owen Baker from the CFF team about the event’s enduring popularity over on page 24. There’s also Sunday Papers Live – a chance to see a live-action version of the broadsheets while you kick back with a bloody mary (slippers/napping also encouraged) this month – read all about it on page 23. This issue we also chat to Luca Fiorio, the brains behind local bakery Grain Culture. If you’ve tried his life-changing loaves, you’ll understand his cult appeal, and why punters are beating a path to his door each time he opens his Ely bake shop – find out his fascinating story so far on page 64. After our Mill Road feature in the last issue received such a warm reception, we thought we’d head north in the city to shine a spotlight on another area worth exploring: Chesterton. With some of the city’s best restaurants, cafes and pubs, and more new openings on the horizon, it’s easy to see why CB4’s making a name for itself as one of the most exciting postcodes in the city.
