May 2013

All present and accounted for at the May 9th meeting at June's. Its probably fair to say that there was equally animated discussion regarding the issues of cleaners as there was about books, but there was lively discussion either way.


'The Light Between Oceans' was well liked by all with average score nearing 4.5/5. Variously described as 'the perfect novel' being well written with an engaging plot, interesting historical detail written with a compassionate eye. Valerie was probably the odd one out sympathising more with Tom's character, but the general consensus that Isabelle's character was for the most part redeemed.

Not all had the time or inclination to tackle 'Life after Life', but Valerie gave it the thumbs up for the innovative structure and thought provoking storyline.  Potentially more discussion on this one at the next meeting on 20th June.
