About the book 

Join staff from Pilkington Library for the University Book Club’s discussion of Greta and Valdin by Rebecca K. Reilly.

A sharp, funny, and tender novel about two siblings navigating love, identity, and family in modern-day Auckland. Packed with wit and heart, it’s a celebration of queer voices and the complexities of relationships.

Access to the book

The Library has a subscription to Libby, the leisure reading app widely used by public libraries. Libby enables the Library to support the wellbeing of all its users by providing access to leisure reading, wellbeing, and audiobook titles. Content includes ebooks, emagazines, and much more. To get started, simply download the Libby app and sign in. The app can be downloaded from the app store, or from a link on the Libby homepage.  

Through Libby, the Library have purchased an ebook of Greta and Valdin, though, unfortunately due to licensing restrictions, it’s one-user at a time only. As this is the case, an audiobook copy has also been purchased and this has unlimited access.
