Literary Odyssey – June Fiction Reading Group in St Andrews

This month we’re back reading Norwegian fiction (after our March book choice ‘Hunger’ by Knut Hamsun) with Maja Lunde’s ‘The History of Bees’. Lunde’s novel follows multiple timelines of bee-keepers, beautifully weaving together a dystopian narrative that draws attention to the powerful human relationship with bees and ecology.

‘Haunting and poignant … an important and wonderful book’ Dave Goulson, bestselling author of Bee Quest.

The Literary Odyssey reading group is all about discovering new, translated fiction from writers from all over the world, every month.  If you’re a fan of great literary fiction please come along, we always welcome new faces and opinions!
