May meeting - The Ghost Estate
In a first for the book group, John Connell the writer of our book (aged 29) came to book group. It was wonderful to have such a charming, accomplished and respectful visitor to join us for the afternoon discussion. He talked most generously about the book and his writing process and seemed to enjoy his time with us. We have a richer understanding of his book and look forward to seeing his upcoming book, Avalon, not yet published. Thanks Sue for organising and suggesting the book and Jane for hosting - beautiful spread with gorgeous baked cheesecake to follow.
June meeting is at Maggie's place - we will talk about The Strays by Emily Bitto (winner of the Stella Prize).
July meeting is at my place (can't compete with today). Book is H is for Hawk by Helen MacDonald.
Good reading! Happy travels to Pat. Get well and strong Moy.
