Hello, everyone!
Our June novel is William Golding's classic, "Lord of the Flies".
Here is what Goodreads has to say about the book:
At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies is perhaps our most memorable novel about “the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart.”

We are using Jitsi to meet online, we'll post the link shortly before the event.
We are a warm and welcoming group, so I hope both old-timers and newcomers can join us for this online meeting! We usually have a lot of fun... and it sometimes happens that we stray from the topic ;-)
See you!
FOR THE EAGER: For the meetup after that, we'll read "Stone Blind" by Natalie Haynes. You are welcome to read ahead if you want :-)))
