The English bookshop in Gamla Stan hosts a book club once a month. This month the book was “The Slap”. It was a very interesting book but not one I would have probably read had I not been encouraged too. There is a Tuesday group and a Wednesday group. The Wednesday group was quite interesting. There were four of us in addition to the shop owner: a man from England who is married to a Swede and has three girls, a Swedish lady, a master’s student/nanny from North Carolina and myself. It made for a interesting group. Swedish law forbids any and all spanking or hitting of a child. Having a Swede in the group for her perspective on the book made for quite a lively discussion.
