• October Book Club: ”Blackbird House” by Alice Hoffman

    18:00 - 19:30
  • Location
    Wirströms City, Kungsgatan 7

  Our next book will be American writer Alice Hoffman’s Blackbird House (2004). Set in a farmhouse on the tip of Cape Cod in rural Massachussetts, Blackbird House is a collection of twelve intricately connected stories that trace the history of the farm's inhabitants over 200 years. From a storm raging in 1778 to the present day, stories of love and loss are woven through the history of the house, its inhabitants and its ghosts. "I feel like in my life I have such a rational, pessimistic outlook,” Alice Hoffman said in an interview, “and what I do in my fiction is allow myself to go to a place I would never go to in real life." Join us on October 28 to see where she takes us in Blackbird House!

  Our always popular annual Christmas dinner to be held at Läkaresällskapet again this year!

  It’s sure to be once again a great night of Swedish and Irish traditions with new and old friends. Join us to get a taste of "home away from home".

  A welcome drink will be followed by a Swedish Christmas buffet with an Irish touch. We will have a raffle with great prizes, traditional carol singing, and live music.

  All this, and the location couldn't be more central - a stone's throw from T-centralen, in the atmospheric and charming Läkaresällskapet Hus (built 1904-6).
