Bøger, ost og vin is an open reading circle that gathers around a generously laid tapas table. You are welcome to join without coming to every meeting. This November's book is Sofi Oksanen's Purge, part of a season devoted to Finnish literature.
The novel follows two women from different generations as they survive the crimes of occupying powers and oppressive systems across many years, showing how such brutality keeps resurfacing whenever dominance changes hands. Nature, the vast lakes and dark forests, and the harsh history shaped by the great eastern neighbour run through the whole season's selection.
