Nancy highly recommended Redeeming Love, another one of Francine River's best books. Nancy also was able to read the book written prior to our book club story and helped fill in the pieces. Yet, My Daughter's Dream did an excellent job of bringing the reader up to date with the history in the family.
The rest of the time we enjoyed talking and sharing information. Family is important to all of us and we all have much to be thankful for in that regard!
The next book will be The Postmistress by Sarah Blake.
The Canyon Public Library has a copy and one can also check it out as an e-book. The cheapest copy online is $9.99 from Amazon if you wish to purchase a copy.
Earleen will be moved into her new [for her] home by then. At least she will be moved in enough to host the club meeting! She will email the address and a reminder as the date approaches.
Next Book Club meeting is March 24 at 7:00 - 8:30 pm. See you then and happy reading everyone!
In 1940, Iris James is the postmistress in coastal Franklin, Massachusetts. Iris knows more about the townspeople than she will ever say, and believes her job is to deliver secrets. Yet one day she does the unthinkable: slips a letter into her pocket, reads it, and doesn't deliver it.
Meanwhile, Frankie Bard broadcasts from overseas with Edward R. Murrow. Her dispatches beg listeners to pay heed as the Nazis bomb London nightly. Most of the townspeople of Franklin think the war can't touch them. But both Iris and Frankie know better...
The Postmistress is a tale of two worlds-one shattered by violence, the other willfully naïve-and of two women whose job is to deliver the news, yet who find themselves unable to do so. Through their eyes, and the eyes of everyday people caught in history's tide, it examines how stories are told, and how the fact of war is borne even through everyday life.
