Four Souls...A book club favorite!

Everyone in the Evening Book Club liked this book. Most of us will read more of Louise Erdrich's books...especially if it follows the same cast. Actually, "Four Souls" is the fourth book in the series about Fleur and her family.
We laughed with Nanapush and Margaret and their story of loyality and jealousy.
We happily saw Polly Elizabeth's heart soften and grow to love and be loved.
More than four souls were changed and remade by the end of the book. Erdrich surprises and delights us with all her twists and turns.
Revenge might have driven Fleur at the beginning but, like others in the book, love is the real driving force.
Most of us in the club were thrilled to read about Native Americans and Erdrich's grace and poetry helped us to understand.
Will the Morning book club agree with us? I am betting they will.

Hemingway...The Sun Also Rises.

Most of the Evening Book Club members liked the portrait of Paris in the 1920s...a time and place that seems so far away but fascinating to most of us.
We agreed that Hemingway is "light" on characterization but excellent on local color.
Males seem to be more fully drawn...surprise!
The Morning Club has yet to have its say...stay tuned.
