| Next protest on May 30 |
Yesterday we met at Wanda's to talk about What We Can Know by Ian McEwen. We found the book's title to be a little obscure. But then, the narrative also depended quite often on the readers' piecing together clues. Wanda made us all at home with fancy cheese, lunch and our favorite orange chiffon cake for dessert. Thank you Wanda! The yummy cheese reminded me to mention Formaticum, from France, used to wrap cheese so it will stay fresh.
We made plans for the next three months. Our next meeting will be at Jane's. We will be discussing The Sweetness of Water by Nathan Harris on Wednesday June 24th at 12 noon.
On Wednesday, July 15 at noon we will be at Jo's to talk about London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe.
In August we will take a drive to visit Jan and Jane, and talk about John of John by Douglas Stewart. This will be on Tuesday, August 10th at noon.
