Summer in the City


 We met at Saara's on a perfect summer day. The sky was cloudless and the view reached to Lake Ontario and beyond.  Everyone expected a marvelous meal but Saara exceeded expectations with a very special shrimp salad and her scrumptious summer fruit pie (recipes are below). Besides basking in the hospitality, we also spent some time talking about our book, The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue.  

Our next book will be Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe. The date is Wednesday, August 27th and we will meet at noon at Wanda's house. Watch the video version of Say Nothing on Disney+.

On Tuesday, September 23rd the meeting will be at my house (Marian) at noon again. The book will be Theft by Abdulrazak Gurnah.  

We also planned for October - Wednesday the 22nd, at noon. We will meet at Jane's and our book will be The Relatives by Camilla Gibb.
