The Henna Artist

 For April, we read The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi.  We all liked it for different reasons.  And Tim conceded that he liked an 'I' novel!  We had a great discussion about power and the need to put others down to raise your own status.  This novel is set in the 1950's when the caste system in India was predominant.  However, given all of the work we are doing individually around privilege, it was yet another example of the human need to dominate over others.  We also learned about henna tattoos and their significance.  this is the first of a trilogy and I am hoping to read all three!

Next month we are reading Universe of Two by Stephen Kiernan and meeting remotely at 6:30.

We are meeting virtually on May 11th at 6:30.
