April Read

'Mr Rosenblum's List' by Natasha Solomon.
Helen's choice this will be our next read.

March Read

'Sea of Poppies' by Amitav Ghosh
The Belles struggled with this one and found it very difficult to follow and get into.
Comments very welcome.

January 2011 Read

'On Chesil Beach' by Ian McEwan
Jane's choice, this novel sparked off lots of differing opinions and ideas including thoughts on pre-marital sex, marital sex, infidelity and much more.

December Read

'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck

Brilliant book intentionally written to be a stage play thus the limited number of, but very strong and totally believable, characters. Also the settings were practically restricted to the barn and the bunkhouse.
Debate at the meeting provoked emotional responses including tears!
Excellent read.

October Read

'Eat, Pray, Love' by Liz Gilbert.
This was recommended by Kate and inspired a visit to the cinema to see Julia Roberts portraying the role of Liz.
Mixed opinions on the book and on Liz herself!
The October meeting was also our first 'Pot Pourri' meeting where we read and enjoyed many different titles.
