Everyone enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express at our last meeting, even those who thought they were not Agatha Christie fans! The book created a lot of discussion about each clue and how realistic the situation was.
For our next book we are reading Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien.
"'Do Not Say We Have Nothing,' shortlisted this year for the Man Booker Prize, is Ms. Thien’s third novel. It is a beautiful, sorrowful work. The book impresses in many senses: It stamps the memory with an afterimage; it successfully explores larger ideas about politics and art (the mind is never still while reading it); it has the satisfying, epic sweep of a 19th-century Russian novel, spanning three generations and lapping up against the shores of two continents." - The New York Times
