There wasn't a big turnout to discuss Halldòr Laxness's The Atom Station perhaps because it was such a bitterly cold and wet evening but the consensus was that it was a very enjoyable book. Very forward thinking with its discussion of The Cold War in 1948 as well as having strong female characters and challenging the role of the church.
Our next book is Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping which Mark suggested seemingly on the basis that after he'd read ten pages he felt that he was reading the work of a master writer.
We'll be back at The All Nations Hotel on September 2. Note: Change of venue: We’re going to meet at the Park Hotel on Nicholson St, Abbotsford instead.
