October 2015 Recap

Dear Bookclub,

{re-enactment sans umbrellas and chatty patrons}

Circling our salads on the Veranda, we merrily gathered our sextet to decipher and relish our platters and Lily King's "Euphoria". Well-liked, Nell was imagined by our readers as a remarkable tribute to Margaret Mead's feminist and scientific contributions. Boo-hoo the love triangle and the dastardly Fen but that's what made the pages turn!

Val thoughtfully and efficiently distributed sheets of book descriptions for our February 2016 selection:

"Orhan's Inheritance" by Aline Ohanesian *chosen
"The Japanese Lover" by Isabel Allende
"The Marriage of Opposites" by Alice Hoffman
"Henna House" by Nomi Eve

As is often the case, not an easy decision- lots of good reads.


Next up is "The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace" by Jeff Hobbs on November 4 at Terrie G's.

A teeny spoiler alert on this great L.A. Times review by Hector Tobar (my "Deep Down Dark" heart-throb author) ....not any big reveal but does explore why not so tragic and gives a synopsis:
