Lori shared the following information about the May meeting:
We met at Joy’s house in Concord for our May 25th book club meeting to
discuss “The Lowland”. Everyone liked the book, although we didn’t
necessarily like all the characters or condone their behaviors. Jhumpa
Lahiri’s writing was beautiful but we didn’t feel this was our
favorite of her books. We were frustrated with the lack of emotional
connection between the characters, even though the book ended on a
relatively positive note for Subhash and his daughter. In any case,
the discussion was spirited and lively and most enjoyed reading the
book.
This meeting was especially nice as we welcomed back our snowbirds
Joy, Celia, and Patricia. The food was delicious (as always) and
bountiful (thanks to extra augmentation by Joy), and it was great to
catch up with those we missed all winter.
Our next meeting will be on Sunday, June 29th, at Celia’s. We will be
discussing “Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin” by
Jill Lepore. For our July meeting, we will be reading “On Beauty” by
Zadie Smith. For the next meeting, Celia will provide the list of
books to vote on for the August meeting.
