Riverrun
Book Club Meeting January 2019
Thanks
to Ann F for that great mac and cheese after which we enjoyed appetizers and
wine. It was another good meeting – ice, snow and all. Sorry
for rushing out after cake and brownies (mmm there’s always time for
desert). We appreciate the concern about us
southerners getting home, once we hit 93 the road was fine.
Marilyn
led the discussion on The Alice Network. Charlie’s obsession with Rose
was brought up. There she is a young, pregnant, unmarried woman in a
foreign country with no money except a string of pearls. She leaves
financial and parental security (such as it was) to search for a woman she
hasn’t been in touch with for many years and who might be dead. She
immediately bonds with a vulgar woman suffering from PTSD.
We
talked about Eve and Lili and of course how the German males' low perception of
womens' abilities was the reason the real Network was able to exist.
This led to discussion re perception in today’s society. Would any of us
actively join the resistance? Oh well, it all works out in the
end when Rene gets killed, Eve goes off hunting big game (who knew) and
Charlie, Finn and the baby live a happy life.
The
book chosen from Diane’s suggestions for March discussion is:
Sideways On a Scooter: Life and Love in India by Miranda Kennedy
Roz has
volunteered to host the February meeting to start at 1 p.m., she has even
already sent the directions.
Thanks
