May Book Club

HI Every One

The next book we will be reading is Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson.

Trond’s friend Jon often appeared at his doorstep with an adventure in mind for the two of them. But this morning was different. What began as a joy ride on “borrowed” horses ends with Jon falling into a strange trance of grief. Trond soon learns what befell Jon earlier that day—an incident that marks the beginning of a series of vital losses for both boys.

Set in the easternmost region of Norway, Out Stealing Horses begins with an ending. Sixty-seven-year-old Trond has settled into a rustic cabin in an isolated area to live the rest of his life with a quiet deliberation. A meeting with his only neighbor, however, forces him to reflect on that fateful summer.

I look forward to hearing all of your thoughts and comments when we meet next month.

The next book club will be Monday the 3rd of May at 7:00pm

Happy reading

Ellie
