What a lovely night we had at Karin's house! It is very beautiful, as you would expect, and we laughed and laughed and laughed at all kinds of things, not many of them related to the book. It was a blast!
As far as the book goes, not a happy group, as not many of us liked it much. I did, but mostly because it was beautifully written, although she did not have that much to say. The structure was somewhat difficult to follow, and the time travel, and space travel was confusing, and I got all the people confused more than once.
That being said, the premise was interesting and kept some of us involved and turning pages. It is an interesting moral dilemma - if you know the future and can save heartache but cause other issues, do you do it? And how do you know it will cause issues? Interesting.
And so we go on - our next meeting will be Oct. 17 at Ashley's, our book is Horse by Geraldine Brooks and we have a special guest! Mary will bring along her friend Ann Archer, whose family owned the farm where this story starts. Can't wait!
See you all then!
