Before the storm

Yesterday we met at Lynda's, and the weather kindly assisted by holding back the storm for the afternoon. Today everything is white and white as the world is snowed in or shovelling. Lynda provided us with delicious treats and quiet background music while we talked about Passionate Mothers, Powerful Sons, the lives of Sara Roosevelt and Jenny Churchill and how they influenced the illustrious careers of their famous sons. In our current world of disquiet, book club afternoons are a particularly welcome respite - thank you so much Lynda. 

Next month the book will be The Wren, The Wren by Ann Enright and we will meet at Susan's on Thursday, March 20 at 1 pm.
