After a long summer hiatus we met back in September to discuss The Moonflower Vine. This was the only published novel of Jetta Carleton, first published in 1962. Lots of discussion about family dynamics, disfunction, social expectations of the time, and men. (The despised character Matthew was totally picked apart) We also talked about the title and the book cover illustration: moonflowers and morning glories, and their symbolism to the novel. This book choice ended up being rated a neutral: we didn't have strong feelings for it one way or another. Didn't hate it but no one gushed about it either.
October's selection: The Clay Girl by Heather Tucker
