August Meeting

This month we discussed 'When God was a Rabbit' by Sarah Winman, a story of two halves told by a small girl and then her older self.  We each found the two halves of the book very different and not necessarily in a good way.  The first half was reminiscient of our own childhoods but quite idealistic, the second half we found too contrived and two dimensional.  We thought the characters were quite sterotyped and found the plot hard to believe at times.  A disappointing read.

Result: 6/10

We chose our next book from a huge list of two:
  • Grace Williams Says it Loud by Emma Henderson
  • Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
We voted for 'Alias Grace' by Margaret Atwood which we will be reading for the October meeting.

Our next meeting will be at Rachel's house on Wednesday 14th September.
