Wow!!! To start: I must apologize to everyone for not submitting the
Bookclub blog back in January!! I am ashamed to admit, I thought I had done it
before I left for Florida. The mind must be really going, ladies!! Anyway,
here's what I think happened from what I can remember.
The meeting for January was held on the fourth Thursday, the 24th, because
I didn't return from England until the Monday, the 21st; just three days
earlier. I purchased a deli tray and we had sandwiches and I did a homemade
chicken veg soup followed by apple pie with ice cream. I know there were other
things brought to supplement the meal by some of the other members that was much
appreciated at the time. We had an afternoon luncheon like we had decided to
try for the winter months and it was well attended. I believe the only two
members unable to make it were Roe and Grace.
The book was by a first time writer and it was called "The Secret Wisdom of
the Earth". Everyone liked it and I did too. It was one of those reads that
once started, you couldn't put down. It combined a story of grief (the younger
sibling died in a tragic accident); prejudice (the gay man was brutally beaten
to death); loyalty (the main character fought to save his grandfather's life);
tenacity (the townspeople triumphed over big corporation who were destroying the
environment by mountain-top removal)!! And there was a lot of other nuances
going on during the story that tied it all together. All in all, everyone
thought it was a good read and I am glad because I enjoyed it very much!!
Looking forward to many more good times over reading in the future!!!
Love to
all, Edna.
