Kathy read the book online and at the end there was an interview with the author that she found quite interesting..........but was able to copy and I couldn't find the interview to share. And she was unable to share it with me. We tried.
Everyone who attended and maybe some others might appreciate the authors thought process. Kathy
Thank you to those who were able to make to Gaye's home. Diana, Jan, Brenda & Kathy. And Thank you Gaye for trying to accommodate everyone.
Kathy felt the discussion showed everyone felt bad for Eleanor and admired her strength to work through what must have been a traumatic childhood.
Kathy liked the way the author showed Eleanor's growth - going from practically being a robot
(as her way of coping) to starting to embrace her self worth. Kathy
Eleanor was blunt and quirky. She depended on vodka to get through the weekend. Her co-workers laughed and talked about her but no one knew her secrets. The book was a bit on the dark side yet some laughed and some cried and sometimes all at the same time.
In a review that I read the reviewer compared Eleanor to Sheldon in the TV show "The Big Bang Theory." What do you think?
Thank you Gaye and everyone in attendance.
Jan announced her book choice Alias, Grace by Margaret Atwood. Date and location to TBD.
Next to Choose: Ed, Jennifer, Kathy, Lisa, Pam, Patrick, Sandy, Susan or Suzanne
Hopefully one of the above will be at the meeting and ready to announce a book!
You slacker Secretary/Photographer
