Adult Book Club: The Little Red Chairs

Join the discussion at Adult Book Club every second Monday of the month. Celebrating almost 25 years, you won’t want to miss out on great discussions, voting, and good company! 

The Little Red Chairs by Edna O’Brien
Vlad, a stranger from Eastern Europe masquerading as a healer, settles in a small Irish village where the locals fall under his spell. One woman, Fidelma McBride, becomes so enamored that she begs him for a child. All that world is shattered when Vlad is arrested, and his identity as a war criminal is revealed.

Fidelma, disgraced, flees to England and seeks work among the other migrants displaced by wars and persecution. But it is not until she confronts him-her nemesis-at the tribunal in The Hague, that her physical and emotional journey reaches its breathtaking climax.

Historical / Dark / Emotional / Reflective / Slow-paced
