The Dinner Review

• Book: The Dinner
• Location: Amsterdam
• Author: Herman Koch

Two brothers meet up with their wives to talk about their son’s recent behaviour and their different approaches to the difficult situation they find themselves in. Although clearly set in Amsterdam, the location doesn’t add much to the story although the Dutch culture is noticeable in parts of the story such as the brother’s relationship. A slow start but overall a great book.
