We had amazing weather for the 24th of May, and a leafy backyard at the Beach was a perfect location to enjoy it. Many thanks to Jo for providing a wonderful evening. Everyone noted that The Sense of an Ending inspired an unusually animated conversation and many questions.
For next month's year-end dinner we'll be at Jan's as usual. The date was changed to Wednesday June 27th, but after some back and forth, we've decided to keep it on Thursday June 28th. Since we were so keen about Julian Barne's writing in The Sense of an Ending, we decided to read another of his books for June - Arthur & George.
In July the book will be The Paris Wife. Did we choose a date and location?
