Our September meeting at the Library provided a great deal of laughter, I am sure we all went home in very good spirits. Apart from chatting about the books we have read we had to name our favourite author and book. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee came out on top, others were Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon, Cloudstreet by Tim Winton, All the Light we Cannot See, Scoop by Henning Mankell, Cold Comfort Farm by Kent Haruf and Love in a Cold Climate written by Nancy Mitford. Black Beauty was a childhood favourite as was Enid Blyton.
Some of the books read by our group included The Queen, Rupert and Me by Desmond Zwar from Beechworth "quite entertaining". My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout, the reader found this a bit disjointed. The Dressmaker of Dachau by Mary Chamberlain, tells of a seamstress in London in 1939 who lived with nuns in a convent until the Germans took her to work for them. A book that many of us read and enjoyed was Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf, it is now being made into a movie starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford, we look forward to seeing it.
A great variety of books were read, but remember you don’t have to read a book to come to our group, it is very entertaining listening to what others have read and enjoyed. See you all in October at the Library.
