#bookoftheweek @OxtedLibrary tells the story of an unnamed narrator, a writer, who grapples with grief & isolation after the sudden death of her close friend & mentor. Apollo, the dog, becomes a powerful symbol of grief, resilience & the unexpected paths to healing & acceptance.

Our Book of the Week is Albert Camus' The Outsider. Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. What will you think of it? @SurreyLibraries
