Women in Translation Book Club: Moominland Winter

This meeting of the book club will be in person at Lighthouse Bookshop- join us from 6.30 for a wee browse with mulled wine before book club begins!

The Women In Translation reading group provides a free, friendly and gentle environment in which opinions are shared and new appreciations can be discovered. A place for curious minds and relaxed conversation hosted by poet and translator Annie Rutherford.

For December the book club will meet in person (at the shop) to discuss Moominland Midwinter by Tove Jansson, translated by Thomas Warburton

The book:

'This is snow,' Moomintroll whispered to himself. Moomins always sleep through the winter - or they did until the year Moomintroll woke up and found he couldn't go back to sleep again. All the clocks had stopped, there was nothing to eat and no one to talk to at home, so he went out - straight into the first snowdrift he had ever seen. The valley wasn't green any more, it was white and silent and very scary. But then Moomintroll spied some tracks in the snow and decided to follow them. Maybe he wasn't the only one awake in Moominvalley after all?
