Paul Torday is the author of this month's novel, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. This light and easy read can be best described as quirky and amusing, with a satirical twist on government and their politics.
John Walsh wrote this review for Independent, in short summarising the novel as "A moral tale about the importance of believing in something, and the comparative unimportance of everything else." Other readers who had their say on Goodreads, weren't as inspired as Walsh was. There was some criticism surrounding the 'overly satirical' characters, who in some ways didn't seem real enough to believe.
What did you think? Our meeting for Salmon Fishing in the Yemen will be held on the 19th of January 2017 at the Gordon White library from 6pm-8pm. Come along and discuss your thoughts and opinions with your fellow bookclubbers, did you see eye-to-eye? We'll find out!
Hope to see you there.
