The Cherrydale Library Book Club: "Munich: A Novel"
We're a volunteer-led Zoom book club focused on fiction and nonfiction titles. New members are always welcome.
Discussions are held usually on the 4th Monday of every month, unless otherwise noted.
December's selection: "Munich: A Novel" by Robert Harris
- New York Times Bestseller
- The Times (UK), Best Historical Fiction of 2017
- “An intelligent thriller…with exacting attention to historical detail. The novel’s power lies in the conflict between our hindsight and the characters’ all-too-believable hopes and fears.”—The Times (UK)
- “Another thrilling historical novel from Robert Harris. [He’s] on sure and familiar ground in Munich—he quickly settles into the mid-20th century setting that made Fatherland and Enigma so compelling, and the claustrophobic feel of the conference carries on from last year’s exploration of Vatican politics, Conclave. . . Against the intriguing backdrop of political machinations and brinkmanship is a thriller plot bursting to get out.” —The Guardian
