Book Club pick for June is The Mark by Frida Isberg. It will be the last Thursday of the month, June 27th from 5.30-6.30pm.
We meet in the shop, no need to book, just turn up!
About the book: In the near future, in Reykavik, in a world like our own, society is divided about the controversial Empathy Test, which measures an individual's capacity for compassion and identifies anti-social behaviour in citizens. Two thirds of the country, including public servants and politicians, have undergone the test, and 'marked' themselves in an official register, open to the public. One third remains 'unmarked' and more and more private and public spaces are closing their doors to them. In two months' time, citizens face a national referendum, in which they will vote on whether the test should be mandatory or not.
A thought provoking read- we are looking forward to the discussion. See you there!
