This facilitated group discusses books which feature queer characters/storylines as well as a strong attention to literary craft and style. June’s selection is Sacred Country by Rose Tremain, in which the narrator Mary's fight to become Martin, her claustrophobic small town, and her troubled family make up the core of this remarkable and intimate, emotional yet unsentimental novel. As daring as Virginia Woolf's Orlando, Sacred Country inspires us to reconsider the essence of gender, and proposes new insights in the unraveling of that timeless malady known as the human condition.
