January book club was great I'm sure. I wasn't there- having a baby. Renee and Horton were at the hospital too. We were told it was a lovely evening that we missed.
February book club was really a storytelling event. Renee, Erin, Andi (quickly trying to finish the last 50 pages), me and guest star Marion told the wonderful, beautiful tale of Cutting for Stone. Don't think I can capture the book in words here, but if you missed book club those of us who read it put together the story for the others. If you haven't read it, read it.
The characters (especially the twins who started their lives as conjoined and the parents who raise them as their own), their loves, their losses, their wins, their stories will dig a hole right in the middle of your heart. Renee got annoyed when the rest of us talked about themes of the book, but it's about family, loyalty, trust, betrayal, and love. It's a commitment at about 700 pages, but it's a book I didn't want to end...it's that good.
This month's book club will be at Houlihan's in Richfield. We'll be discussing Unwind by Neil Shusterman. Hope to see you there!
