We had such a lovely time at Judy Schmidt's home! Very relaxing and comforting. And a VERY BIG THANKS to Caitlin for preparing our delicious dinner featuring home-grown fried green tomatoes!
Our read this month was "Beneath the Scarlet Sky" by Mark Sullivan. Quite similar to "Boys in the Boat" and also "Unbroken", it is a historical fiction based on one man's life during WWII in Italy. The story is about growing up during a war and learning much about life: friendship, love, courage, deceit, choices. What does it take to survive a war? Milanese took the train to the countryside each evening and slept in the orchards and fields so they could be safe from the bombing and get some sleep. What does Pino do to survive the war? He has amazing experiences as he fights for justice the best way he can.
"Life is change, constant change, and unless we are lucky enough to find comedy in it, change is nearly always a drama, if not a tragedy....if we are lucky enough to believe, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed."
