Full Moon Book Club

Welcome to the first blog from the Full Moon Book Club. Last night, we held our monthly meeting in The Vaults. The book this month was 'The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets' by Eva Rice. A charming coming-of-age novel about Penelope Wallace and her eccentric family and friends set in 1950's London at the beginning of the Rock'N'Roll Era. Overall the reaction to the book was positive - a light read that captures the spirit of the 50's and the eccentricies of the wealthy. We also discussed last month's book, 'A Wedding in December' by Anita Shreve. A sad tale of lost opportunities for the group of former students of Kidd Academy who reunite for the wedding of their friends, Bill and Bridget. There were mixed reviews about this novel. Please feel free to add your own comments about these novels. More information on the next meeting to follow.
