October 2012 meeting, January 2013 book.
Lovely day at Sue W's place, lively discussion of Hemingway's The Moveable Feast, comparing the 2 published versions and discussing the many drafts. We had the Paris Wife version of the story to refer to as well. And Sue and I had had a recent look at The Sun also Rises as well. We were very pleased that we had taken the time for a look at this ground-breaking writer, and think about the importance of this time in art and literature, and of Paris.

Stella - you will be pleased to hear that Pappa's had run out of Ricotta cheesecake, so you didn't miss out. But you did miss out on the yummy apple tart that replaced it.

Maggie took notes because the November book is at her place  and Ken is heading off to Namibia to get out of the way - Ken, really you didn't have to!

No meeting in December as usual. The January meeting will look at The Dark Room by Rachel Seiffert, which has been in the news as one it's 3 stories is the basis for the recent Cate Shortland movie, Lore. I've read the book and seen the movie and am recommending it far and wide - though it was Sue W's suggestion. Sue E volunteered to host in January.
Cheers Pat
