Please note the title of the book to be discussed at this meeting was changed on 9 January.

We “travel” to Sweden for this month’s selection with Mikael Niemi and his novel, To Cook a Bear.

It is 1852, and in Sweden’s far north, deep in the Arctic Circle, charismatic preacher and Revivalist Lars Levi Læstadius impassions a poverty-stricken congregation with visions of salvation. But local leaders have reason to resist a shift to temperance over alcohol.

To Cook a Bear explores how communities turn inwards, how superstition can turn to violence, and how the power of language can be transformative in a richly fascinating mystery.

The location of our meeting will be communicated to registered participants nearer to the date.
