Thank you Chris M. for reminding me that I hadn't posted the results from our January meeting at Esther's home where we reviewed "What Alice Forgot" by Liann Moriarty. Dinner was wonderful, of course, featuring a delicious beef broth tomato soup. Esther did not attempt the world's largest lemon meringue pie (as the characters of our book had done), for which we are all grateful (so soon after the holidays!).
This book dealt with memories and what can trigger a memory. It also touched on how we perceive our lives - wonderful, exciting, disappointing, happy, sad, lonely. Good memories versus bad memories. About how we can "twist the lens" on our lives and see things from different perspectives, and be wiser and more sensible about our views and expectations. It was a light read which was nice after the holidays and our previous selection. An interesting story which gives you the chance to stop and ponder if you would like to go back in time and change things you did, and how your views and expectations of life have changed as you got older. Would you change anything, or keep the course?
