At Laing, we adore literature. We revel in the transformative power of books, transporting you to distant realms, evoking laughter and tears, while provoking introspection and expanding your intellectual horizons.
Here's what we've been reading in the last few months.
"Picked it up for its title and cover and loved it for its love story" - Anna
A young woman reeling from loss and trying to heal through joy and love.
"I'm starting to dream of some travel at the end of this year, so I read this to get me in the mood!"
- Anna
First published in 1988 (just before his death), its a collection of stories and essays from a great travel writer.
Judgemental neighbours. Financial failure. Dysfunctional family life. Set in Ireland.
And... absolutely hilarious.
This one is on the list to read next.
"Looking forward to reading this historical fiction with tissues on hand"
- Anna Murray, Founder
If you liked the Bee Sting try The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghase – so good
