Mettng at Claire's Condo at Breton Woods, June 29, 2018

Riverrun Book Club May 2018 Meeting

Book Discussed:  The Last Days of Dogtown

What a wonderful day to have our meeting at Claire’s condo in Bretton Woods.  Along with great appetizers, salads and desserts, Claire served up hot dogs, hamburgers and all the fixings for one of the first cookouts of the season. 

This is another book by Anita Diamant.  General consensus was that while we liked this book about strong women, The Red Tent ranked higher on our list of good reads.  Judy did an excellent review of the book and the characters--among which were widows, whores, witches and dogs.  As all our members were there (except for Marlena – we missed you), I’ve not included notes on the opinions/comments expressed during the meeting.  And, after some research, I must concur with the general opinion that the book is based on a real place and authentic people. 

The book chosen for the July meeting is Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

Diane volunteered to notify Nina.
