2015 01-15 Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver hosted by Suzanne

Sorry this post is so late but I got busy/side tracked. What can I say....
Glad so many came out to Frida's Mexican Restaurant to join Suzanne in the discussion of her book choice Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver. Nice turn out and the food was good and of course so was the company.
Unfortunately many of us hadn't finished the book but those that did really liked the book.

So glad Cindy has turned a new leaf and lets me take her picture. 


Denise was ready to get rid of the mother who was annoying as hell.

Everyone felt the book ending was perfect.
If you haven't finished reading this book I hope and I know Suzanne would be happy if you did.  The backbone of the story is the communist/worker's movement & US and Rivera, Kahlo & Trotsky's part in it. Kingsolver imagines what it would have been like living in these households during the turbulent period. The story is about politics and history and much more. 
For those that read or finished the book do you think this book trumped the Poisonwood Bible? I'm still working on reading this book so I can figure that out and find out exactly what the perfect ending was. 

This would be my one complaint about our seating. I felt like we had 2 separate groups and I couldn't hear all the comments regarding the book.  If you have any comments on the book you'd like to share click on the comments word and leave your comments. But what better place to hold the meeting but Frida's Mexican Restaurant.  It's always great to be around the group. 
What better place to hold a meeting but at Frida's Mexican Restaurant.  And it's always great to be with this group.  The only person at the meeting ready with a book was Brenny so without further ado....................... Here's her choice of reading.
