The Sisters of Versailles
by Sally Christie
August 4, 2016

Hostess:  Lisa
Attendees:  Michelle, Cheryl, Lori, Emily, Betty Rose, Amy, Mary Margaret, Jana, Pam M

We rated this book "fun."  No denying it read like a  fluffy romance novel.   Through the letters to each other  five sisters told the stories of life in the court of King Louis XV of France.  We discovered that the girl drama of these women was really no different than drama between sisters in todays world.

We discussed some possible choices for future meetings.   

Next month's selection:  Wool by  Hugh Howey

The Orphans of Race Point (April) Everything I Never Told You (May) April 28, 2016

Date:  April 28, 2016

The Orphans of Race Point
by Patry Francis (April selection)

Everything I Never Told You
by Celeste Ng (May selection)

Hostess:  Susan
Attendees:  Betty Rose, Emily, Pam T, Cheryl, Pam M


We held our meeting in April and combined it with our May selection, Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng.

The Orphans of Race Point did not rate as high (basically, "in a book club, had to read it") as Everything I Never Told You, ("would recommend it") which we enjoyed for a number of reasons. Both books generated thoughtful discussion.

And the food Susan provided was delectable, as always! 

See you in August!
