From #TheFriend (UK):

“Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) acknowledged that ‘the Quaker relationship with being identified as a privileged body is a difficult one, along with the idea of making a “Loyal Address” to the monarch. Quakers uphold a testimony to equality, which is at odds with hereditary monarchy. But the address offers a rare chance to catch the ear of power.’"

#amReading #SalvationCity by #SigridNunez, of whom I already loved the novel #TheFriend.

Describing a boy's coming of age in a community of Christian freaks in the aftermath of a flu pandemic, it's a terrific and quite prescient reading, considering that was published in 2010!

I am now looking forwards to reading her last book #WhatAreYouGoingThrough!
