SUMMARY:Palm Beach Finland by Antti Tuomainen
DESCRIPTION:**Nordic Book Club will take place as an online meeting** \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. Discussions have typically taken place the last Tuesday of the month at Scandinavia House but will now be taking place bi-weekly as an online meeting. Register here to sign up for the meeting; registrants will receive a web link to where the meeting will take place. \nBook club participants will all appear online at the start of the meeting when they log in so that they are able to take part in the conversation. For participants who would prefer not to be visible onscreen\, see an easy tutorial online here on how to set a profile image that will appear onscreen instead. \n\n\nOn November 3\, we’ll be discussing Palm Beach Finland by Antti Tuomainen\, a dark\, poignant comedy thriller described as  “a roller-coaster read and extraordinarily poignant” by The Guardian and a “Top Shelf Pick” by Publisher’s Weekly. Jan Nyman\, the ace detective of the covert operations unit of the National Central Police\, is sent to a sleepy seaside town to investigate a mysterious death\, known for its bizarre holiday village known as the ‘hottest beach in Finland’. The suspect: Olivia Koski\, who has only recently returned to her old hometown. The mission: find out what happened\, by any means necessary. With a nod to Fargo\, and dark noir\, Palm Beach\, Finland is both a page-turning thriller and a black comedy about lust for money\, fleeing dreams and people struggling at turning points in their lives – chasing their fantasies regardless of reason. \n\nREGISTER
