We have a winner! For the next meeting of the Swedish-Irish Society Book Club we will be reading Solar Bones by Mike McCormack! Hope you enjoy the book and see you all on November 6!

Set in Louisburgh, Co Mayo on All Souls’ Day 2008, Mike McCormack’s Solar Bones (2016) takes us into the world of Marcus Conway, ‘husband, father and a civil engineer in some small way responsible for the wild rush of buildings, roads and bridges that disrupted life in Ireland during the boom that in the book has just gone bust.’ The novel is a ‘magnificent song’ according to Ian Sansom, possessing ‘such peculiar depth, such consonances and dissonances that it is a reminder that a writer of talent can seemingly take any place, any set of characters, any situation and create from them a total vision of the reality. This is a book about Mayo, Ireland, Europe, the world, the solar system, the universe.’
Come and join us on November 6 – a few days after All Souls’ – for a lively discussion of life and death in Solar Bones!

Strengthening the cultural bonds between Sweden and Ireland – and having fun while we do it!
