HAPPY SPRING, HAPPY PASSOVER, HAPPY EASTER!
We missed some of our bookworms but we were excited to celebrate Lourdes’ birthday! Thank you Maria R. and Robin for the delicious desserts!
I read The Husband’s Secret well before I met my favorite “worms”. I thought this may be a good book club novel, thought provoking --- it made you think: What would you do? I am so glad so many of you enjoyed reading it. Liane Moriarty’s characters reach turning points in their lives and are forced to re-examine their identities as well as their relationships. Many of the characters harbor secrets. It seems as if Cecilia is placed in an unavoidable position where her discovery of John-Paul’s letter leads to a chain of events that she may not be totally responsible for.
Are human relationships capable of complete honesty? At the end of the novel after so many emotional events unfold – it is HOPE that allows the characters to look to their futures! Remember; use your compass to find your way! This is another novel that has had its film rights purchased. Boy, do we have a lot of movies to see!
See you May 5th.

Hi Lovely Ladies,
ReplyDeleteAs usual, what a lovely blog, video song was perfect. I love the Beatles. Jill you did a beautiful job hosting. Your goodie bag and creative way of sharing the questions was so much fun. It seems as if you were with us since the beginning. I enjoyed your thought provoking comment at the end of your blog entry. I really enjoyed this book. I especially enjoyed the authors unique way of sharing the charaacters thoughts to show what they were really thinking. We all have so much to say and have just as much thoughts to go with it. I want to say that I appreciate this book club very much (And what I am thinking is that I enjoy all of your company and look forward to our time together.) Lourdes I hope you enjoyed your BDay, thanks ladies for the treats.
Be Blessed!!
Mary

Thanks for such a good choice Jill. It was very entertaining and being able to discuss the books with friends make it all the more enjoyable an experience. I love our group gatherings! Actually, to quote another Beatles song, "I get by with a little help from my friends...I get by with a little help from my friends."
ReplyDeleteThank you all for adding to the best birthday week I ever had.
You were so creative Jill, with questions hatching out of Easter eggs. The chocolate matzas were great too.
Love, Lourdes
