Would you condemn a complete stranger to death?'The Stranger' by Albert Camus is a 1st person account from a man who lacks normal feelings. It is set in Algiers and follows the Frenchman Monsieur Meursault in his daily routine after the death of his mother. He kills a man and is put on trial for being a cold blooded murder with no regret nor emotions.I summarised the book as follows. "I found it a slow start but became more engaged as it progressed. It's great for highlighting part of the reason life hard, everyone is a stranger and some people are really strange. Unfortunately the indifference of Mssr. Meursault was contagious and I didn't love it."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.
