The Book for discussion at our next meeting on Wednesday 27th August at 5.30pm in the Library is ‘The Undertaking’ by Audrey Magee.
‘A soldier on the Russian Front marries a photograph of a woman he has never met. Hundreds of miles away in Berlin, the woman marries a photograph of the soldier. It is a contract of business rather than love. When the newlywed strangers finally meet, however, passion blossoms and they begin to imagine a life together under the bright promise of Nazi Germany. But as the tide of war turns and Allied enemies come ever closer, the couple find themselves facing the terrible consequences of being ordinary people stained with their small share of an extraordinary guilt.
We meet on the 4th Wednesday of the month to discuss the story and meet up with other readers.
