April's Meeting
We will be meeting at Anna Shirley's house on Wednesday, April 14th, at 8:00 PM to discuss A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.
In May, we will be reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett.
Here's a synopsis of A Thousand Splendid Suns:
In May, we will be reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett.
Here's a synopsis of A Thousand Splendid Suns:
A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan's last thirty years, from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding, that puts the violence, fear, hope and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives, the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness, are inextricable from the history playing out around them.Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking, heartwrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love, a stunning accomplishment.

March's meeting
We'll be meeting at Andrea Wachob's house on Wednesday, March 10th at 8:00 PM to discuss "A Girl Named Zippy" by Haven Kimmel.
Next month we'll be reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini.
Here's the synopsis for "A Girl Named Zippy":
When Haven Kimmel was born in 1965, Mooreland, Indiana, was a sleepy little hamlet of three hundred people. Nicknamed "Zippy" for the way she would bolt around the house, this small girl was possessed of big eyes and even bigger ears. In this witty and lovingly told memoir, Kimmel takes readers back to a time when small-town America was caught in the amber of the innocent postwar period–people helped their neighbors, went to church on Sunday, and kept barnyard animals in their backyards.
Laced with fine storytelling, sharp wit, dead-on observations, and moments of sheer joy, Haven Kimmel's straight-shooting portrait of her childhood gives us a heroine who is wonderfully sweet and sly as she navigates the quirky adult world that surrounds Zippy.
