We missed Mairtin today but the rest of us were all in attendance. Tony zoomed in from Turkey with a glass a wine in hand, having not read the book despite having PLENTY of time on his flight. Greta rightly took him to task for this.
"Animal Dreams" got mixed reviews. Some found it wanting after enjoying "Bean Trees" so much. Others liked its examination of community and memory. Almost all found the plot line of the sister going to Nicaragua unsatisfying.
Next up for May: "The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett. We will be zooming for this meeting.
We are daring to dream of a face-to-face meeting in June. Our book will be "The Edge of the Haight" by Katherine Seligman.
Read on!
