Hi all, last night was fun!Here's the book for our January 17th meeting!
"A tale of the slave trade set in 18th-century Bristol, seen through the eyes of a merchant dealing in African slaves, the slaves themselves, and the merchant's wife whose task it is to prepare her husband's investment for a life of servitude in the drawing rooms of wealthy Bristolians. Philippa Gregory gives a fully rounded view of the dilemmas facing all the characters without moralising."Elizabeth Chadwick
Also, our February book will be: Jamie Ford's debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet!

Hello everyone - I haven't gotten the January book yet! I don't want to postpone the meeting, but I doubt I'll get it and read it in time~ TERESA
Hi everyone - I just checked on Pearl S Buck 'The Good Earth'. It has great reviews, and all that - BUT, it's about a Japanese family or man, and I didn't know that until now. Should we do a different book after Sharon's? Were there other suggestions?
