NOVEMBER BOOK
Our book for November is To Siberia (link) by Norwegian author Per Petterson. (You may recall we read Out Stealing Horses by the same author a few years back, to quite positive reviews.) Once again, we'll be meeting at Joey's Shipyards location (Joey) in North Vancouver. Not only is it close to the Seabus but it has a huge covered and heated patio. So join the bookateers next Tuesday evening (November 2nd) for some post-Hallowe'en frivolity and badinage; 7pm start time as usual.
A brother and sister are forced ever more closely together after the suicide of their grandfather. Their parents' neglect leaves them wandering the streets of their small Danish village. The sister dreams of escaping to Siberia, but it seems increasingly distant as she helplessly watches her brother become more and more involved in resisting the Nazis.
