Dear Bookclub,
The surprising pleasure of radishes, butter and salt, tasted together, mimicked the surprising pleasure of a bookclub-soap-opera, classic literature, and a mystery, read as one novel. Anne Hood's "the book that matters most", enjoyed by all, was not as expected. Maggie's story dominated, a plus for lovers of French-fare-themed bookclub, but the telegraphed ending was a minus. Hood's descriptions were very well-written especially when involving shocking or uncomfortable subjects; she hooked us with that.
Suggestions for an upcoming read:
"The Last Days of Night" Graham Moore
"Miss Burma" Charmaine Craig. *chosen
"Before We Were Yours" Lisa Wingate
Happy reading!
