November 2012: Paris Wife
Next month is Paris Wife by Paula McLain. We will be meeting on November 26 at 3pm in the Turner Room. Here's a summary:
Meeting through mutual friends in Chicago, Hadley is intrigued by brash "beautiful boy" Ernest Hemingway, and after a brief courtship and small wedding, they take off for Paris, where Hadley makes a convincing transformation from an overprotected child to a game and brave young woman who puts up with impoverished living conditions and shattering loneliness to prop up her husband's career.
Books are available and discussion sheets can be picked up with the book or printed online.
We also worked on selecting books for next year and the list will be available shortly.
October's title: Let's Take the Long Way Home
The book group met on September 24, 2012 to discuss Sarah's Key. Most members agreed that even though it was a difficult subject (the Holocaust) it was well written and a great read. We had Red Velvet Cheesecake and enjoyed the discussion. The recipe is available online, but Beth modified it by substituting 2 cups chocolate graham crackers for the chocolate wafers, almonds, and brown sugar.
