Join a literary discussion group about Nanna Holm's widely acclaimed debut novel The Red Gate. The novel follows three children—Aske, Gry, and Mona—at a leisure collective on Langeland during the final years of the Cold War. Here, adult dreams of freedom collide with chaos, and the children navigate a childhood shaped by both security and uncertainty. Years later, the three friends must confront the memories and marks left by that fateful summer.
Literature facilitator Sarah Wedsted leads the discussion with particular focus on themes such as perceptions of boundless freedom in the 1970s and 1980s, and what happens when childhood memories resurface. You only need the desire to share your thoughts and reading experience with other readers. The library provides a free copy of the book to all participants, and you will be contacted by email regarding pickup.
