The Greater Westford Literary Society read News of the World by Paulette Jiles. We had a number of folks who were unable to join the discussion, however, the news from those in absentia (Tim and Ed) that they loved the book. Of those attending, Chrysanne loved the book and gave rave reviews. Others had not finished the novel and I was the lone person who was not in love with the novel. Since I am also the author of this Blog review, I had strict instructions to accurately describe the accolades. The main character was loved and admired. The psychological aspects of children who are taken from one culture and immersed in another and the effect on their development was a unique contact. The dinner was lovely.
Next book is Transatlantic by Colum McCann. We are meeting February 12th at Mindy's House.
