Twelve of us gathered at the Six Burners Bistro in Plymouth, NH, for our annual Holiday Celebration. We missed our members who were not able to join us.....Joy, Celia, Ann F, and Lori. Sue B. joined for the first time in years. Sue was a founding member of our club.
The book discussed was Marilyn's suggested book "Madam Bovary" by Gustave Flaubert. The majority of the group did not enjoy reading this book...and yet it offered plenty of discussion. Most of us could not find a character that we liked in the book. There was much description of the setting for the story...that many found to be boring....a tough book to slog through.
Mary Jo offered suggestions for our February book. Selected was "The Master Butchers Singing Club" by Louise Erdrich.
We celebrated with our Yankee Swap. Judy had suggested that we re-gift "scarves" Great suggestion! We had a lovely variety.
The next meeting will be held at Stephanie's home on January 31, at 1:00pm.
