Hi all
We met at Ros’s place today - Moy and Stella, Ros and me, along with Maggie and her daughter Rachel. The good news is that Rachel has decided to stay with us, so the average age of our book group will tumble considerably. Maggie, please pass on to Rachel and let me know her contact details to add to the list.
Discussion of the book took the customary 30 mins to get started but was quite brisk and continued into cakes and tea. Most people enjoyed the read even if ‘reluctantly’ as in Ros’s case.
Flaws in characterisation, a bit plot driven, but a well planned structure, muscular and energetic writing, which certainly engaged us all.
Next month, November, will be the Christmas meeting which will be at my place - A Spool of Blue Thread, by Ann Tyler.
The January book will be the Booker Prize winner, A Brief History of Seven Killings, by Marlon James. It’s anything but brief, but we have two months to read it, with no book in December.
So lets consider October written up and go on to November.
