The Sixth Lamentation

The Sixth Lamentation by William Brodrick was November's book. Set in the present day, it is a gripping tale of revenge and love told mainly from the point of view of a monk. The book concerns a suspected war criminal who sees sanctuary at the monastry. Various characters turn out to have involvement in the wartime events. It was greatly enjoyed by the Group and we felt it had more depth than some of our recent choices. However, we felt that some of the plot twists were a little too neat and convenient. December's book is The Colour by Rose Tremain. I had already read it and enjoyed it so I recommended it to the Group. I also thought that Music and Silence by her was fantastic. It will be interesting to see if the others like it too,
