For March, we read
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. This novel is in the science fiction genre, which is not the type of novel we have read for the most part. And most of us really liked it! I think what we all found refreshing was how positive the novel left us feeling. The relationships in the novel are supportive and hopeful. The themes of climate change and work to solve the issues through universes was mind opening. And we all fell in love with Rocky!
We also liked the scientific thinking and the scientific methods outlined as the characters tackled problems and found solutions. Some thought that the novel could have had less of the details of the scientific approach, but did not find it cumbersome. Thumbs up from the majority of Greater Westford readers!
Next month we are going to read the 2022 Mann Booker Prize winning novel, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by
Shehan Karunatilaka and we are meeting in person, at Chrysanne's on April 11th at 5:30.
