Dear Bookclub,
In trying to imagine the meeting that I'd missed, a setting was necessary. Opening a bottle of wine seemed appropriate (The Barrel Room) for a thoughtful discussion of the page-turning "Before We Were Yours". But I must get on a plane soon, so drinking alone is out (Whiskey doesn't imbibe), and discussing anything with a deaf dog is fruitless. A report of just the facts must make due:
*Wanda also missed, out with pneumonia(!).... hope you are feeling much better.
*Trudy was present and on baby-watch (welcome to Declan Patrick born 2/9!)
*TG reported on her new granddaughter, Eden Rose.
* Finally, I am guessing that Val and Terry ordered the caprese sandwich or tomato soup with half a grilled cheese sandwich. (not really a fact but sounds good)
I am hoping we can do a mini discussion of Lisa Wingate's "Before We Were Yours" next time, as it was a thought provoking read. The fact that the book is based on an actual account of horrific incidents makes it all the more powerful.
Terry's suggestions for an upcoming read:
"Botox Nation:Changing the Face of America" Dana Berkowitz
"Killers of the Flower Moon:The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI" David Grann *chosen
"The Heart's Invisible Furies" John Boyne
Next up:
Eowyn Ivey's "To The Bright Edge of the World"
Happy reading,
LK
