In addition to discussing "The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet", we sampled Senior Living at Lincoln Green. We used the comfortable community room which looked out on a winter garden. This has been a very snowy winter and this Sunday was no exception. Lincoln Green is Jane's new home and she so graciously made arrangements for our bookclub to meet there.
Everyone liked the book. Discussion was mainly about how those of us who grew up on the east coast knew very little about the Japanese internment. It was only in recent years when we read books like "Snow Falling on Cedars" and "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" that our consciences were raised. Could this happen again. We agreed that it was indeed possible. The Moslems come to mind. What if there was a terrorist incident and war involving persons of the Moslem religion.... would we inter citizens of that faith in our country????
Jane baked a delicious lasagna and garlic bread. Others brought food to share. We had a lovely afternoon in comfortable surroundings.
Winner of the vote for our April book was "Water for Elephants" by Sarah Gruen.
Our March 27, meeting will be held at Diane's house. Book is Tracy Kidder's "Strength in What Remains: A Journey of Remembrance and Forgiveness ".
