We had a lovely evening and a delicious meal at Sue's house. She made a delicious lentil soup and a fabulous baba ganoush. Thanks Sue!
We also welcomed a new member, Liba. It's great that you could join us!
We had much roving discussion, but we touched on alot of stuff in The Plot Against America. Consensus was that although it started a little slowly, we liked it. The ending seemed abrupt and the plot turn that brought us there contrived, but the powerful moral of the story is "it could happen here." Liba brought a fascinating perspective. Having grown up in Czechoslovakia, it reminded her of stories her parents told and thiings that had happend after WWII, and it had the thorough ring of authenticity.
We chose The Kite Runner as our next book, and we'll be meeting March 14 at Liba's house. Happy reading!
