Ann S., was too ill to join us. Thus...the description of this month's meeting will not be up to it's usual standards!
Book discussed was Joy's recommendation of "LaRose" by Louise Erdrich. It was my impression that everyone likes the style of Erdrich's writing. This was a sad story of a family who gave up their young son, "LaRose" , after his father accidentally shoots and kills, his nephew. There was a history of the other strong "LaRoses" both male and female going back several generations.
We considered this meeting to be our "Garden Party". We dressed in skirts, dresses, and wore hats. Fun...and we also looked pretty good! Had many wonderful and tasty foods for this occasion.
Voted on our book for the August meeting at Celia's house. From Celia's suggestions, we selected "Gentleman in Moscow" by Amor Towles.
The question came up of admitting new Members to our Book Group. At our next meeting we will welcome Judy's sister Kathy, and our long time friend Roz.
