January's Book is The Periodic Table by Primo Levi
Primo Levi (1919-1987) was an Italian Jew, writer and chemist who survived imprisonment in Auschwitz during the Holocaust. In this famous book, which is a blend of fiction and autobiographical fact, Levi takes inspiration from the periodic table of the elements to deliver a series of linked reminiscences and stories about his experiences.
