Award Winning Book Club*

 

(*awarded by me.....best book club I ever belonged to)

January  Meeting

We had a lively and interesting discussion on January's choice,

 Small Great Things. Hard to enjoy the early chapters and yet, well written. Surprising ending! We all feel Jodi Picolt does her research. 

Next month Kelly selected:

An outstanding book by any standard, 

"Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon delivers another literary masterpiece: a novel of truth and lies, family legends, and existential adventure—and the forces that work to destroy us."

"From the Jewish slums of prewar South Philadelphia to the invasion of Germany, from a Florida retirement village to the penal utopia of New York’s Wallkill prison, from the heyday of the space program to the twilight of the “American Century,” the novel revisits an entire era through a single life and collapses a lifetime into a single week. A lie that tells the truth, a work of fictional nonfiction, an autobiography wrapped in a novel disguised as a memoir, Moonglow is Chabon at his most moving and inventive."
