We met at Susan's to talk about Lucy by the Sea. There were mixed reviews in the room, and some of us hadn't finished the book. After our discussion will they be curious enough to explore the controversy that the book provoked? We may find out next month. We were in good hands with Susan, who makes hosting look easy. Thank you for a great afternoon.
Next month we are starting the year with Fresh Water for Flowers by Valérie Perrin. We will be at Wanda's house on Thursday January 11th at 1pm.
A reminder that on Wednesday, February 21st we will be at Lynda's to talk about Foster by Claire Keegan.
