A bit of spring rain and a pleasant evening a Judy Schmidt's home. Lots of conversation among friends.
We had two books to choose from this month! "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt. A story of family and community, grief, loneliness, connection and hope. The main character is an extremely intelligent Pacific octopus living/being held captive at the local aquarium. Sprinkled with humor and a pleasure to read. "One might make a third list here, which would consist of things humans clamor for, but most intelligent life would consider entirely unfit for consumption. For example: every last offering in the vending machine in the lobby." "The Huntress" by Kate Quinn was our second book. This was a story of searching for a particular Nazi war criminal in the 50's. By now, most countries wanted to put the war behind them. Are the things people did during the war to survive black and white, or are there shades of grey? "I only did what the others did. What I was ordered to do. It was legal."
