After being washed over by Virginia Woolf's The Waves, our next read is A Working Mother by Glasgow's own Agnes Owens. Seemingly underappreciated in the canon of Scottish authors, Agnes Owens is experiencing a posthumous revival of interest and renown for her works, of which A Working Mother is considered her crowning achievement. Described as "a hidden treasure of Scottish literature" by Douglas Stuart (take that as you will), A Working Mother expertly displays Owens' sharp wit, dark humour and lean prose.With over a month between meetings, and at just over 150 pages long, there are no excuses for not finishing in time!
The meet-up is limited to 12 people. Please RSVP to the event if you would like to attend and change your response if you are no longer able to come so that someone else may take your place.
