Thank you Celia for hosting and thanks for the article on how to make that great sandwich you served.
We got our wine and filled our plates with appetizers including a tasty dish made from a mushroom picked by Marilyn. It’s so fun when our food fits into the plot!The book discussed was The Inn At Lake Devine. Everyone finished the book and found it a light read even though it is a serious topic. Thanks Marilyn for the sheet translating the Yiddish words in the book (so many were familiar!). Lori started off by asking for opinions from each of us. We loved the young Natalie and her initiative in devising a way to stay at the Inn and her phone call to Mrs. Berry.
The book covered various romances and a few tragedies - i.e. Robin's death and the closing of Inn due to mushroom poisoning. Roz, our resident mycophagist, told us there is an antidote for mushroom poisoning. The book gave no explanation as to why Mrs. Berry accepted only gentiles. This led into discussion on prejudices and we had many questions on the history and traditions of Jews. This took our conversation somewhat away from the content of the novel but it made for a very interesting meeting.The Book chosen for discussion in October is:
A Piece of the World by Christina Baker KlineDiane has volunteered to host the October meeting.Stephanie will submit reading list at the Oct. mtg
