February meeting: April Book

Sue hosted the meeting where we talked about 'Home' by Emma Donoghue.

The decision about the April book had to be put to the vote. The contenders were 'We had it so good' by Linda Grant and 'Five Bells' by Gail Jones. The winner was 'We had it so good' and 'Five Bells' is a tentative book for May, to be confirmed at the next meeting.

So there are 3 messages to remember

The April Book is 'We had it so good' by Linda Grant. See Review

The date of the meeting is NOT in April - it is on 1 May

The venue of the meeting has been changed again - it is now at Margaret Lackenby's place.

Lastly, best wishes to Clare during her operation and recuperation, it's a time to hope to many good books and many good discussions to come,

And truly last - Peter and Kana are feeling more comfortable and assure us that the situation in Japan is settling. They are in Niigata with Kana's parents and saw their baby's face on the ultrasound yesterday, so are looking to the future.

Cheers

Pat
