Skios, Michael Frayn

Read on the Kindle - my choice for book club.  From the Booker Prize 2012 long list.

Oliver Fox is travelling to Skios for a rendezvous with Georgie, his latest squeeze.  Dr Norman Wilfred is travelling to Skios to give a lecture on 'scientometrics' at a foundation set up to promote culture and learning.

A mix up at the airport sees the two men heading in opposite directions, and thus stumbling into each other's lives.

This is a pure farce, and a cracking holiday read. Hope the ladies of Book Club enjoy it too.
