I messed up! Man, some book group leader I am! You just can’t trust me. Anyway, in the What to Read topic for April, the poll was originally tied between The Little Red Chairs and The Infatuations. Since Nan suggested the five books, she chose The Infatuations. At some point later, someone voted for The Little Red Chairs. When I was setting up the thread, that’s what I saw, & I rolled with it. So, sorry, poll time. To refresh your memory, here’s a summary of the two books:
- The Infatuations (2011), by Spanish author Javier Marías, is a philosophical murder mystery narrated by María Dolz, a book editor who becomes obsessed with a couple she observes daily in a Madrid café. After the husband is murdered, María becomes entangled with the widow and a friend, uncovering a dark, premeditated, and justified killing. (350 pp)
- The Little Red Chairs (2015) - When a wanted war criminal from the Balkans, masquerading as a faith healer, settles in a small west coast Irish village, the community are in thrall. One woman, Fidelma McBride, falls under his spell and in this astonishing novel, Edna O’Brien charts the consequences of that fatal attraction. (320 pp)
Please vote for the one you’d like to read during April, to discuss May 1.
- The Infatuations
