Hi to everyone after a lovely afternoon at my place with the first fire of the season. It was also the first meeting after Clare's death so we spent a bit of time talking about Clare, her funeral, her voice, her life and so on. We shared round some of her books that her son Jonathan gave us for the book group. We have some set aside for you, Maggie and Jane. Missed you and Liz. We had a good roll up though on a wintry afternoon.
There was a lively discussion about the book, All the Birds, Singing which was liked by most people (I was a dissenting voice - I was annoyed to the point of fury by small factual inaccuracies!). Stella and Ros weren't wild about the book either, though both found much to admire in the writing. Thanks to Sue W for drawing the book to our attention.
The May book, as you know, is the Richard Flanagan, The Long Road to the Deep North, at Stella's place.
The June book is The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert. We will be meeting at Pat R's town residence in Kings Cross.
