Schedule Change

Please note that we are now reading Tombee for February 19 and Savannah Grey for March 19. As noted at left, Grace Cordial, our library system's Historical Resources Librarian for the Beaufort District Collection will present Tombee and give us historical (insider) information about the Chaplin family and the book.
March 19, we will have the author of Savannah Grey, Jim Jordan, as our guest speaker! He will, no doubt, answer questions for us.
If you missed the discussion of Prince of Tides, I'm sorry to tell you that you missed a number of insights into the book from those present. We had an interesting time delving into the family dynamics of the Wingos and trying to figure out if the three Wingo children could have avoided the psychological damage that became evident later in life. (Probably not.)
We read some reviews of the book written at the time of publication: one favorable and one a scathing denunciation of the plot and of Pat Conroy's writing style. We agreed with the favorable review!
The group could have spent 2 sessions on this book, but that is not to be. December 18 will be our dinner out to socialize. In January, Stuart will lead us in a discussion of Suite Francaise.
Please join us!
