A new year at the University of Stancester, and Lydia Hawkins is trying to balance the demands of her studies with her responsibilities as an officer for the Christian Fellowship. Her mission: to make sure all the Christians in her hall stay on the straight and narrow, and to convert the remaining residents if possible. To pass her second year. And to ensure a certain secret stays very secret indeed.

When she encounters the eccentric, ecumenical student household at 27 Alma Road, Lydia is forced to expand her assumptions about who’s a Christian to include radical Quaker activist Becky, bells-and-smells bus-spotter Peter, and out (bisexual) and proud (Methodist) Colette. As the year unfolds, Lydia discovers that there are more ways to be Christian – and more ways to be herself – than she had ever imagined.

Then a disgruntled member of the Catholic Society starts asking whether the Christian Fellowship is really as Christian as it claims to be, and Lydia finds herself at the centre of a row that will reach far beyond the campus. Speak Its Name explores what happens when faith, love and politics mix and explode.

Well, that was a very unusual and interesting read. It opened my eyes to the unsuspected world of Christian communities in British universities as well as issues being homosexual and Christian. I usually avoid reading anything related to religion but I have to admit that this novel was very enjoyable and worth reading.

Book of November going to Icila, congratulations and enjoy !

Merci Lubiette ! After Plain Secrets about the Most traditional Swartzentrubers Amish people this seems to be very interesting.

I had a go at it some time ago but couldn't finish it and put it aside for another try.
Better to send it to J4shaw who has it on her wishlist.

In the mail to J4shaw in the USA. Enjoy !

Arrived in the mail today.
Thanks so much for sending this RABCK to me Icila !
