Book #1 Helen of Nowhere by Makenna Goodman
Welcome to READING ROOM, a new community book club for young people in London.
We're hosting our first session at Bard Books in East London, where there is a full-service bar.
Our first book is darkly comic novel HELEN OF NOWHERE by Makenna Goodman. The book is about a disgraced professor being shown around an idyllic country house by an estate agent, who woos him with tales of the previous owner, Helen.
"Wildly original… unpredictable and funny…. Is Helen of Nowhere a ghost story? A satire about back-to-the-land philosophies? A comedy about male obsolescence? Or, conversely, a skewering of woke identity politics? Perhaps it’s just a fable about burn-out or the human hunger for love. It could be all of these…" Johanna Thomas-Corr
