Elizabeth is Missing was liked by all and lead to a lot of discussion about the story and personal experiences of family with dementia. Although the ended seemed a bit rushed.
Our next book is The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood
"In her tenth novel, Margaret Atwood again demonstrates that she has mastered the art of creating dense, complex fictions from carefully layered narratives, making use of an array of literary devices - flashbacks, multiple time schemes, ambiguous, indeterminate plots - and that she can hook her readers by virtue of her exceptional story-telling skills"
This book is 656 pages so we've made the meeting a week later than usual. We have the summer read meeting in between the two meetings however in case you're missing book club.
Other pitched books:
Hitman's Guide to Housecleaning - Hallgrimur Helgason
Schindler's Ark - Thomas Keneally
Elephant Moon - John Sweeney
The Raven Boys - Maggie Stiefvater
Meeting is same time same place
