First Meeting

By -
This is my second post.  If you haven't seen the first one, please scroll down.  After getting a few emails back about availability, I've decided our first meeting should probably happen on a Sunday.  It seems like we all have commitments during the week nights.  During the summer it might be better, we'll see. For now, let's make the meetings the 3rd Sunday of every month.  That means our first meeting will be April 21st at 17h00.  We will meet at my house, 43 plan de la croix, Salinelles.  It's directly across from the church in the centre ville.  Bring a snack food to share!

January Book Selection

By -
Hello club members!  The book for January will be "The Buddha In The Attic" by Julie Otsuka.  The book is very short, so should be "easy" to finish before the meeting on January 19th. "A gorgeous novel by the celebrated author of When the Emperor Was Divine that tells the story of a group of young women brought from Japan to San Francisco as “picture brides” nearly a century ago. In eight unforgettable sections, The Buddha in the Attic traces the extraordinary lives of these women, from their arduous journeys by boat, to their arrival in San Francisco and their tremulous first nights as new wives; from their experiences raising children who would later reject their culture and language, to the deracinating arrival of war. Once again, Julie Otsuka has written a spellbinding novel about identity and loyalty, and what it means to be an American in uncertain times."

For October, the location is yet to be determined.  We've chosen the following novel: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Authors:  Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows LINK in French:  http:// amzn.to/163W6g7 LINK in English: http:// amzn.to/18qqEZp   Description January 1946: As London emerges from the Second World War, writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she’s never met, a native of Guernsey, the British island once occupied by the Nazis? As Juliet begins a remarkable correspondence, she is drawn into the world of this man and his friends, all members of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, a book club formed to pr...
