March and April meeting info

By -
We had a great meeting in February.  There was lots to talk about with the book Defending Jacob and of course lots of great food brought by the members to share. For March we have Dear Life by Alice Munro.  The meeting will be at Isabelle's house.  Directions will be forthcoming in an email before the meeting.  We're going to read all the short stories in the book and then we'll discuss the ones we liked best during the meeting. http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B009HSPODE/?tag=wwwellecase0b-21 For April we decided on a book presented by Marielle that she picked up in the S. Korea airport.  It's Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson.  She highly recommends it!  I tried to find it in French, but I don't know if it's available.  Please comment on this post if you find it with a link. http://www.amazon.fr/dp/006224454X/?tag=wwwellecase0b-21 Description S. J. Watson makes his powerful debut with Before I Go to Sleep , a compelling, fast-paced psychological thriller,
