#124 The Awakening (Y Byw sy’n Cysgu) - Kate Roberts (Choice: Sabine) (Venue: Bryn Williams, Somerset House)

Date: Wednesday 19 June 2019
Present: Gill C, Jen, Sabine, Nic

A Welsh chef for a Welsh book - though we all read it in English. (I bought the Welsh but it's one for the - distant - future!).

The restaurant was hard to find and comprised of a succession of rooms which is challenging for the staff so service was friendly but a little inept. Orders were misunderstood more than once. However, everything that came out was absolutely delicious, especially the smoked salmon. Heading back this week (February 2020) with some fellow Welsh expats.

The book was a quiet, gentle novel conjuring another time and place.
