April Meeting(s)

Treating our April 16 meeting as 25th Anniversary, Part 2, we celebrated with a short presentation of pictures old and new and a cake from our local Gaetano's featuring a photograph taken at the Boston Athenaeum.  Thanks to Nancy for introducing us to an author we were unfamiliar with, Yiyun Li, who has been applauded by many literary groups for her writing talent.  The Book of Goose, the story of two friends, one very domineering, was difficult in places.  It reminded me (Pat B) of My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante. Nancy gave us some background on the author's life; two sons died due to suicide.  Yet she carries on.  The book won the 2023 PEN/Faulkner Award.

Fabulous trip on April 9 to Boston Athenaeum and to Tea at Pam's house!
