Seven of us met at Jane's place today, to consider The Night Guest by Fiona McFarlane. It was generally well received, in spite of material that was a bit close to the bone for some of us. Would a bank really allow the transfer of $700,000 by a frail elderly customer? - well, it happened in our street, this month! And what's elderly? Anyway, Fiona M can certainly write a sentence, we said. Sue E, Liz, Pat R and Moy were missed. They missed a great spread and stupendously rich chocolate cake. Thanks Jane!
We decided on the October book: The girl is a half formed thing, by Eimear McBride.in October we'll be at Ros's house (not at Moy's). I made a mistake last month, Moy is hosting us in November.
The September book is Stoner and is at Sue Ellyard's. I will be in Japan but have a great meeting.
