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.

 

 

 

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.
