Book Club Pick

Alex, Lora and I, along with our guest, intern Danya Cohen, discuss this scintillating debut novel by 25-year-old Shani Boianjiu. Informed by Boianjiu’s compulsory two-year service in the Israeli military, the novel shines with both humour and heartbreak.

A laugh-out-loud funny take on life as a woman in today’s world, one hilarious biographical moment at a time. Here's our review to start things off.

Our next official Chatelaine Book Club pick is the thought-provoking Mr g: A Novel About the Creation, by physicist Alan Lightman! To get you started, here's the review.

Actor-turned-novelist Sarah Winman takes time out to talk to Chatelaine about her debut novel, her inspiration and the importance of seeing the funny side of life.

In this, the second and last part of Mr g by Alan Lightman (page 112 to end), Alex, Lora and I ponder such things as good vs. evil, faith, the meaning of life — and the allure of sparkly dresses.
