We were small in number (3) but mighty in opinions when we met at Maureen's to discuss Ali Smith's Autumn. The book was well-received; a story about time, it was timely, having been published shortly after the Brexit vote. Post-Brexit, when "all across the country, there was misery and rejoicing..." was the setting for Elisabeth and Daniel's friendship. We agreed that the story was well-told and filled with memorable characters. There are more books that make up part of this seasonal quartet and Jo has read Winter and Spring; Summer has yet to be published.
The next meeting will take place on Thursday, Dec. 5 at Wanda's home. We'll talk about Colm Toibin's book Blackwater Lightship.
The crowd (!) enjoyed the appetizer I made: endive with smoked trout and herbed cream cheese. I changed the recipe by using smoked trout pate instead of smoked trout fillets with the herbed cream cheese. Yummy and easy.
Endive with smoked trout and herbed cream cheese
