'The World According to Anna'

This rather short novel is a foray into dystopian fiction which focusses on the environment rather than the more frequent themes of technology or society. It incorporates inter-generational time travel to develop a sense of urgency.

It certainly has an eye-catching cover. On the Independent website, Max Liu failed to be impressed by Jostein Gaader's novel and wrote this about it while Callie Steven from Planetbooks took a more positive stance.

It is a novel which is accessible to a wide range of ages from young adult through to adult.

Looking forward to hearing our book clubbers' views on Jostein Gaader's latest novel at our next meeting at 6.00pm at the Community Meeting Room at the Gordon White Library on Thursday 26 May.

Happy reading!
