At our September 26th meeting, we discussed The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani. We all really liked the characters in the novel and the hardwork ethic they displayed. We also liked getting a glimpse of this prominent immigration era in U.S. history. Even though the author has a cookbook, Cooking with My Sisters, we didn't use any of her family recipes. We had instead potica (Ciro's favorite and mentioned multiple times in the book) and borlenghi for refreshments.
For the next book group, we will be reading is the Wright Brothers by David McCullough. We will meet on October 31st at 3pm in the Turner Room. Books are available for pickup at the LME Library desk. Discussion sheets are also available in the library and online. We will also start selecting titles for 2017. If you have any suggestions, please get them to me before our November meeting.
Summary: On December 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Wilbur and Orville Wright's Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard. The Age of Flight had begun. How did they do it? And why? David McCullough tells the extraordinary and truly American story of the two brothers who changed the world.
