Again, no picture. I am definitely falling down on the job! I'm sure next month will be better...
Our book selection, Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, did indeed create the need for more discussion than our book last month. In fact it started weeks before our gathering with several comments back and forth from people disturbed during the reading. Yes, we understand that was no doubt the intent of the author, but having an extremely uncomfortable read wasn't our norm. And it certainly did facilitate strong feelings and an excellent discussion so well done Ms. Burke!
Though it was August, it was a bit chilly outside when we arrived so we gathered inside to share. As per normal we talked and talked and left hours later to a nice warm afternoon. We chose Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth as our next read. It was described as very funny and a marked departure from the angst of our recent book.
