Dear Bookclub,
Reminiscent of Bill Murray's Groundhog Day experience, bookclubbers met yet again at Julie's. My gratitude abounds to Julie for taking over my hosting as last minute changes necessitated. Discussing Maggie O'Farrell's "The Marraige Portrait" was a breeze, Julie reported, as everyone had read the book or at least part, and her printed questions were never used.

The New York Times reviewed O'Farrell's book with quite the dagger. I'd enjoyed the book very much, being immensely entertained by the audible version. The review surprised me; the reviewer must not have been in the mood. Calling it 'ridiculous', I can only imagine there must have been an expectation for much more. My preferred method to read with as little outside influence as possible afforded me a pleasurable experience. Opinions!
