Description

Join us for the November Literature in Translation Book Club gathering on 12 November at 6pm at the Book Cow, where our chosen title is Eastbound by Maylis De Kerangal, translation by Jessica Moore.

** SELECTED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES AS 1 OF THE 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEAR **

In this gripping tale, a Russian conscript and a French woman cross paths on the Trans-Siberian railroad, each fleeing to the east for their own reasons. Perfect for fans of Maggie Shipstead's Great Circle and The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. Eastbound is both an adventure story and a duet of two vibrant inner worlds.

In mysterious, winding sentences gorgeously translated by Jessica Moore, De Kerangal gives us the story of two unlikely souls entwined in a quest for freedom with a striking sense of tenderness, sharply contrasting the brutality of the surrounding world.
