My book club met last Monday night to discuss Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. The discussion centered mainly on memories and stories our fathers had told to us of their experiences in the war. Most of us appreciated her extensive research. I particularly enjoy her writing style. Our next book The Red Garden is written by Alice Hoffmann who I had the pleasure of hearing speak at our local independent book store, RJJulia's. I am always intrigued as to how an author gets her (or his) idea for a book and the process of writing until she/he is satisfied with the story. I have two books waiting to be read- The Weird Sisters and the latest Maisie Dobbs- Elegy for Eddie. I started last week The ExPats while slow to grab me, now I can't put it down.
