November 2016 Recap

Dear Bookclub,
Le Bistro de Louisa gave a pleasant mildly-French cushion to the harsh realities of the very unpleasant-American anvil of day-after-ugly-election for our bookclub's discussion of C.W. Gortner's "Mademoiselle Chanel". Long live the LBD. Agreed that Coco was an extraordinary woman, the novel was enjoyed by all and the peek into the German occupied Paris life was a new view from our literature shelves. I know Coco would NEVER dress up like someone else but here goes:

Val recommended three (ok, two; Eleanor was shot down) alluring titles for an upcoming selection:

"Foreign Affairs" Alison Lurie * chosen
"The Light of the World" Elizabeth Alexander
"Loving Eleanor" Susan Wittig Albert


Up next: Our adventure to Dana Point! Ahhhhh - will be such a nice respite.  Blue Lantern Inn, here we come to discuss Alice Thomas Ellis' "The Birds of the Air" and everything else under the sun.

Happy Reading,
LK
