And .... back to Zoom!

 

Lynda offered to host the meeting in April, but COVID-19 had other plans, as we struggled through the sixth wave, forced to negotiate  will we?/won't we? for every event. We settled on won't this time.  Though it was unfortunate to miss Lynda's hospitality we had a good discussion about The Strangers on Zoom. 

Next month, on May 11 at 1 pm we will meet at my place to talk about The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen.  If all goes well.
