Sandcastle Book Club Recap
December’s Meeting, December 14, 2020
Nineteen book club members tuned in for a Zoom meeting led by Diane Flaherty. Diane reviewed The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. Members joined in a discussion naming their favorite characters and revealing challenges they faced trying to figure out the three main plot threads. Some members absolutely loved the book while others found it very sad. Everyone agreed that Krauss is a gifted writer who is able to speak convincingly in different voices. Her words elicit profound feelings of nostalgia and empathy.
Book Club member Jo Ann Green shared the following podcast featuring Krauss discussing her latest book. Thank you, Jo Ann!!
