November 2017 Bookclub News
Dear Bookclub,
Thinking that George Westinghouse's salad dressing recipe had to be something amazing, I searched and searched and searched, spending waaaaaaaayyy too much time, and found nothing. Except a gentleman's request to author Graham Moore on Facebook for the recipe - no response. My tenacity has worn thin - hardly the stuff of the War of the Currents. Enjoying "The Last Days of Night", this recipe hunt will not be my big 'take-away'. But I am curious.
Moore's descriptions have also piqued my interest about Marguerite which led to discovering their home, "Solitude":
..... which led to an architect's blog, 'At Home and Afield', that has the most interesting article with wonderful pictures, fun and 'enlightening': 'On Buildings and "The Last Days of Night"'

Val's discovery of Moore's website, 'illuminates' the cast of characters along with a timeline:

Finally, suggestions from Val for an upcoming read:
"Young Jane Young" Gabrielle Zevin
"Little Fires Everywhere" Celeste Ng
"Rule of Capture" Ona Russell
"Ramblings with My Family, starting in China" Wendy Maitland
Looking forward to an electrifying 'tea' at The Veranda!
Bright reading,
LK
