Overdue Update

Our March book was unanimously enjoyed. "Lolly Willowes" by Sylvia Townsend Warner. It was the first "Book of the Month Club" selection in 1926.

Our April/May/June book was "A Brief History of Seven Killings" by Marlon James. Even though there was a lot time to complete this big book, nobody had. Some were put off by the unrelenting violence and others struggled with the Jamaican dialect. Personally, I liked it but I did put it aside several times to get a break from the violence.

All of us who do NOT have second homes in Europe were in attendance.

Our July book is "Skyfaring" by Mark Vanhoenacker, a non-fiction book.
