June 2014 Bookclub News









Dear Bookclub,
Our next meeting is fast approaching; June 19 at Diane's to discuss "The Invention of Wings" by Sue Monk Kidd. Set in antebellum Charleston, South Carolina, this is the author's first historical novel, based on the remarkable true story of Sarah Grimke´: abolitionist, writer, suffragist!



Oprah has gone a bit crazy over this book (which is not a bad thing) and has filled the electronic versions with her 'notes' (which I have yet to find of interest). I hope you are able to glide right over them. They are downright babble. (Sarah would have thought so too).
 

As always, I am intrigued by the various covers of books. One can only wonder why the more beautiful version of the British publication is supplanted by the more menacing US version:





Happy Reading!
LK

PS RSVP to Diane :)
