Book Notes Tuesday, April 20th. Please call Carol at 579-2818 if you plan to attend. We will be discussing Honore de Balzac’s Cousin Bette and leaving modern times behind. Many thanks to Pam for hosting last month‟s meeting. We enjoyed her hospitality and a lively discussion of Donna Morrissey‟s What They Wanted. The book earned a rating of 5 ½, mostly because all readers felt they learned a little about the resettling and out-migration from Newfoundland in the sixties and seventies, as well as work on the rigs. It is not a novel most of us would return to. Perhaps, we tackled too many gloomy Newfoundland topics in relatively quick succession and need to widen our horizons visiting other literary landscapes.


Next Evening Book Club meeting is on May 7th at 7:30 pm, with Elizabeth hosting - 753-6243. The book we will be discussing is Eiriksdottir by Joan
Clark. The exciting news is - Joan will be present for this meeting.
