Adults-only book club meeting to discuss 'Cathedrals' by Claudia PiƱeiro, with tea and coffee provided.
Books on the Hill are hosting the November Text Book Club on Sunday 15 November, from 10:00 to 11:00 in the Reading Room upstairs at 1 Holywell Hill, St Albans. The book on the table is Cathedrals by Claudia PiƱeiro, one of South America's most loved writers, and the session is a group discussion around it.
Cathedrals is a moving and gripping novel set in modern-day Argentina that deals with the brutality of murder. It follows Lia, who fled home after a brutal crime decades ago; thirty years later the hidden truth comes to light, carried by her father's enduring love for the victim, exposing the cruelty of religious fanaticism and the indifference of those who follow their elders' dictates. Reviewers have compared PiƱeiro to Elena Knowles and A Little Luck in the way she delves into family ties, social prejudice and the ideologies that shape our inner worlds.
