Emily's Hampstead Heath Walking Book Club - May - Whereabouts

This slender, haunting novel, comprised of a series of vignettes, follows a woman in her late 40s adrift in an unnamed Italian city. While little happens by way of plot, Lahiri beautifully renders the narrator’s wanderings and wonderings, which culminate in a life-changing moment. This is the first novel to be written in Italian and then translated into English by the prize-winning Bengali-American writer, whose short story collection Unaccustomed Earth was a very popular previous walking book club pick.

N.B. Please ensure that you have read the book BEFORE coming on the walk - or it risks spoiling the event for other walkers. If you've don't quite have time to read the book, please consider instead joining the Monday evening Zoom, for which reading the book isn't a prerequisite.
