While
it was a disappointment not to see Joseph’s photography exhibit, we had another
great luncheon at The Six Burner Bistro.
We all hope Joseph has recovered!
The
book discussed was Little Fires Everywhere
set in Shaker Heights where the author grew up.
Two of our group attended college in the area and noted that you could
usually
distinguish the students from Shaker Heights.
There was a comment that there were perhaps too many “little fires” in
the book. These ranged from the Richardson family dynamics
(particularly Izzy's relationship with her mother), Lexie’s abortion,
Mia’s surrogate pregnancy (doesn’t Pearl have a right to
know her parentage), and of course should the baby be given to the
McCulloughs
or to her mother Bebe Chow. And, we
would like to know what happens to Izzy.
As with last month’s book, this is being made
into a movie (series). The part of Mia
will be played by Kerry Washington. The
general consensus was that portraying Mia as a woman of color will greatly change
the concept of the book.
Business:
Stephanie says Joseph can reschedule the viewing
of his photography before the March 29 meeting.
Ann Fitzhebert: Please let us know if
a later start time for the March meeting is agreeable.
Arrangements would be 12:30 meet at the
Holderness School parking lot, then to Ann’s at approx 1:30.

is THE LIBRARY OF LOST AND FOUND by Phaedra Patrick
2. Ann Fitzhebert will

3. Book chosen for April
discussion is POMPEII by Robert Harris, no meeting place scheduled yet
