The People’s Act Of Love – James Meek
READ FOR BOOKCLUB
Chosen by Suzy
A renegade Czech army unit is stranded in a community of religious fanatics in a small, remote town in Siberia.
⚈ “I certainly didn’t expect what I found when I first opened the book. A unique setting and idea, bringing together an army unit and religious fanatics in the harshest of climates, so that everything is a daily battle. This is a blindingly forthright story, one which poses many questions about the fragility of the human condition and makes you consider ‘what if’ over and over. The bleak frosty setting is well incorporated into the storylines and is almost a character in itself. I didn’t want to put this down.” – Rachel
