October 28, 2018 Meeting at Diane's Home


Riverrun Book Club October 2018

Claire and Ann were the first to arrive at Diane’s followed closely by Carol.  Diane served a wonderful soup and has emailed the recipe – thanks Diane.  Great food as usual and wonderful chocolate stuff!

The book discussed was Mountains Beyond Mountains, the story of Dr. Paul Farmer, a driven dedicated self-sacrificing physician.  This was a bit deep and most did not finish the book.  However there was the usual lively discussion.  We debated the moral issue of his “Robin Hood” method of obtaining medicine and equipment for his clinic in Haiti.  Was he both arrogant and humble?   We believe Ophelia made the right decision and wondered if he is still married to Didi.  Lori we really missed your intake on this one.
