Thanks to everyone who gathered for book club last night. We had a great discussion on a powerful book. It has opened our eyes to the struggles that many countries have faced to gain very basic elements of freedom. We have so much to be grateful for and an even greater responsibility to do what we can to bless the lives of others. Thank you Telarry. It was a great book to read and think about.
Our next discussion will be at LuAnn’s house on Wednesday June 3rd at 7pm. Her book pick is:
Goodreads says:
A baker in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, must travel to Paris to uncover a family secret for her dying grandmother—and what she learns may change everything. Hope’s beloved French-born grandmother Mamie, who wowed the Cape with her fabulous pastries for more than fifty years, is drifting away into a haze of Alzheimer’s. But in a rare moment of clarity, Mamie realizes that unless she tells Hope about the past, the secrets she has held on to for so many years will soon be lost forever. Tantalizingly, she reveals mysterious snippets of a tragic history in Paris. And then, arming her with a scrawled list of names, she sends Hope to France to uncover a seventy-year-old mystery.
A Goodreads reader says:
I really enjoyed this book. My mother suffers from dementia, so I could relate to the feelings of the main character when dealing with her grandmother's "good" and "bad" days. I've also spent many years on the Cape, so I enjoyed the setting. I thought the premise was great. Imagine discovering a completely different family history than the one you grew up believing? What feelings of loss would you feel? What would you feel you'd gained? I've read other books by this author and I'm glad she's been able to branch out into another genre. I think you'll like this book (and the food)!
Looking forward to this one!!
See you there,
Diane
