Tonight we met to discuss our current book, The Book Of Negroes by Lawrence Hill. We were missing one member due to vacation. I was somewhat surprised to find that the discussion was not a lively as some of our past meetings. I wondered why that would be as we all thoroughly enjoyed the book. Maybe therein lies the answer. Everyone had the same basic opinions. We all thought it was a good story, well written and an insight into some of our Canadian history and we would highly recommend it to others. There wasn't alot of room for disagreement. How could you not be appalled by slavery in general and Aminata's life in particular. Still it was a good meeting. We also conducted some business regarding a planned outing which should prove to be alot of fun! Looking forward to next months discussion on A Prayer for Owen Meany. I think I can saftly say that there will not be as much of a concensus on that book! Till October.....
