Dear Bookclub,
Jane Smiley's "Some Luck" is the first volume of a planned trilogy. Seems daunting to our future memory challenges (re: Marilynne Robinson's well-liked Gilead/Home/Lila trilogy we recently 'harvested'). (Not to forget Housekeeping which was not on our list - or was it???) Yet, this first novel in the series is extremely readable and graceful.
"Some Luck" chronicles Midwestern farm life in the author's wry and poignant manner, making for a good read and neatly categorizing it for a Smiley Pulitzer or National Book Award Winner.
Please be sure to RSVP to Val for our upcoming meeting at the French Market Grill, 12:30.
Happy Reading!
