On June 3rd, we met to discuss Girl, Woman, Other. Bernardine Evaristo won the Booker Prize for her work. We all agreed that just at the point that we were tired of reading a series of short stories, we became intrigued with how she wove the stories together, culminating with the last story. We all were fascinated by the lack of punctuation and agreed that it felt a bit like reading poetry and that it did not interfere with the flow of the novel. We had fun discussing the characters we liked and maybe didn't like so much. Overall we gave this novel a thumbs up.
We are meeting next on July 20th to read American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins
