Six of us met at Darla's for our discussion of The Owl Killers by Karen Maitland. Darla was well-prepared with yummy crock-pot offerings to warm us (a potato soup and a chicken-kielbasa-sauerkraut soup). Karen supplied a beautiful spinach salad, Becky brought a delicious egg dish, I went all-out with rolls, and Lisa and Leann rounded off the meal with desserts (cupcakes and cookies, respectively). Thanks, all!
We had an interesting discussion even though only two of us had finished the book. Set in the Middle Ages and featuring a community of women determined to make it on their own, we talked about the limits of what women could accomplish at that time. The book also had lots of scary elements, which made it appropriate for this time of year.
Speaking of scary, we chose a ghost story for our October meeting. Read on for details.
