It was difficult to pull off this book club meeting. Several of our group had been out of town, ill, or plagued with computer problems. But we did, finally, get together, even if only online (meeting in a restaurant while the pandemic peaked again seemed a bit too risky).
Our list of books was beginning to pile up, so we discussed both Peril and The Growing Seasons at the same gathering. Having been covered extensively on TV new shows, Peril, a narrative of the last year of Trump's term and the transition to the Biden years, seemed like old news. We also found it rather inelegant and hastily assembled. By contrast, the second book was beautifully written and full of nostalgic details about life in Minneapolis in the 1930s.
Our next book is Aftermath by Harald Jahner Peter's suggestion), and the one after that will be suggested by Max. Date TBA.
