Fifi (Harpenden)

Seeking a book club

Hello, I’m interested in starting or joining a local book group. I’m a fan of lit fic, novels set in other cultures / translated novels and magic realism. I’m a voracious reader (or let’s face it, listener of audiobooks) but my nearest and dearest aren’t huge readers so would love to share and discuss books with others. I often pick up the booker shortlist and work my way through it. Recent books I’ve read and enjoyed include The Names by Florence Knapp, The Bee Sting by Paul Murray, Flesh by David Szalay, Prophet Song by Paul Lynch and various books by Elif Shafak.

Anxious People

by Frederik Backman | Learn more and buy

I absolutely loved this book! So easy to read, quirky and most importantly for me the characters were wonderful and so vivid in my mind. Quick and simple synopsis - an incompetent bank robber takes a group of people at a house viewing hostage. It's funny, sad and very touching. I'm not the fastest reader by any stretch but was so hooked I read this in just a couple of days. I've since read a few of the authors books and just love his writing style. The translator must have also done an incredible job!
