It is always a pleasure to be at Claire's condo with it's balcony view of Mt. Washington! There were nine of our members present to discuss "Traveling with Pomegranates" by Sue Monk Kidd and her daughter Ann Kidd. No one raved about the book. Some said that it was okay....and others felt that it was poorly written. BUT...the book did stimulate good discussions about mother / daughter relationships...the authors' in particular. The traveling duo kept introducing the Virgin Mary in different countries and cultures. Greek goddesses were also compared. Religious beliefs and practices were discussed.
We voted on Celia's book suggestions for our August 26th meeting. Winner by a vote was "In the Time of the Butterflies" by Julia Alvarez. Celia had offered a fine selection of books and any of them would have been interesting, good reads.
Our next meeting will be on July 29, at Celia's. Book to be discussed is "Old Filth"by Jane Gardam. It will be Claire's turn to offer book selections for the September meeting.
The August 26, meeting will be at Judy's.
We will meet at Joy's on September 30
Claire prepared a barbecue which was accompanied by stuffed eggplant. Others contributed salads and appetizers. MJ made a wonderful fresh fruit cobbler with vanilla ice cream. We ate well and enjoyed every morsel. Most of all we appreciated the shared friendship. We are a very special group!
