We met at Erte in NE Minneapolis. The menu included steaks and lots of comfort food which proved good but not great. The book, part of a series involving Scotland Yard's Inspector Alan Grant, was mostly admired for its unique plot and its raising of interesting historical facts about the War of the Roses and King Richard III. But it seemed a little contrived and, while easy to follow, employed somewhat stilted language.
The next meeting is set for Tuesday, September 20. We chose Annie Proulx's Close Range: Wyoming Stories as our reading assignment. We also considered Orhan Pamuk's Snow and Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Sympathizer. Bill suggests the next book.
