We are delighted to announce that for May’s Text Book Club, we will be discussing Rene Karabash’s International Booker-shortlisted debut novel, She Who Remains.
The book club will be held upstairs in our Reading Room at 10am on Sunday 21st June, and is suitable for ages 18+. Tea and coffee will be provided.
About the book -
High in the Accursed Mountains, in a village ruled by the ancient laws of the Kanun, Bekija escapes an arranged marriage by becoming a sworn virgin, renouncing her womanhood to live as a man.
Her decision sets off a brutal chain of events, destroying her family and separating her from the one she loves the most.
Years later, as Bekija - now Matija - tells their story to a visiting journalist, long-buried truths come to light, along with the realization of all that might have been.
