What is Not Yours is Not Yours

We met on zoom again last night to talk about What is Not Yours is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi. Maybe we could sum up by saying that this book of short stories confused us. In this interview she attempted to explain some of her ideas. Hmm...



... moving along, we set times and books for the next two months.  We will meet on Thursday, August 20 to talk about Scarborough by Catherine Hernandez.  Watch for a wine pairing for this evening, something new to experience and share. And on Thursday, September 24 the book will be Circe by Madeline Miller.

  • Becoming Mrs. Lewis: The Improbable Love Story of Joy Davidman and C. S. Lewis  by Patti Henry
  • Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo
