I missed this month's book group but I really enjoyed the book Grief Is The Thing With Feathers by Max Porter. I thought it was a powerfully written exploration of grief in a family when the mother dies. The writing is beautiful capturing the interrupted thoughts as recollections intrude on everyday life and introducing a crow as an unwelcome part of family to be the grief, an inspired motif.
The next book is Amongst Women by John McGahern, an acclaimed Irish author and I understand this is his greatest work.
The next meeting will be at The All Nations Hotel at 20:00 on November 2. See you there!
