A real life Book Club for those in Sydney

Sunday Book Club at gleebooks

February book is The Memory Room by Christopher Koch:
(they say) "The events in this absorbing novel take place in the final phase of the Cold War, but they are highly relevant to today, and Christopher Koch’s widely admired prose style gives them a contemporary freshness. The aims of The Memory Room go far beyond those of a thriller. A psychological portrait of a brilliant but eccentric spy, it is also an exploration of the mystical nature of secrecy."
