Just Because.....

Moloka'i

Hello All! The NWH Book Club met on 5/31 at Beth's House to discuss Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. We all enjoyed the book, despite it's sad subject. We had a wonderful night full of good discussion, good food (see below), FABULOUS Maitai's (Thanks Kevin!) and good company!!

Our next Book Club will be (tentatively) held 10/4-10/5 on the Cape (Thanks Mary!). Since we have the entire summer and part of fall, we have chosen two books for the next meeting.

First we have chosen Larry's Kidney by Daniel Asa Rose.

The quest of two star-crossed cousins to rejuvenate Larry's failing body and ever-romantic heart,while avoiding getting tossed into a Chinese slammer. An unforgettable adventure filled with Red Guards who waltz at midnight and former enemies who prove more true than family, Larry's Kidney is the funniest yet most heartwarming book of the year.

Second we have chosen Every Last Cockoo by Kate Maloy.

Sarah Lucas imagined the rest of her days would be spent living peacefully in her rural Vermont home in the steadfast company of her husband. But now, with Charles's sudden passing, seventy-five-year-old Sarah is left inconsolably alone. As grief settles in, Sarah's mind lingers on her past: her imperfect but devoted fifty-year marriage to Charles; the years they spent raising their three very different children; and her childhood during the Great Depression, when her parents opened their home to countless relatives and neighbors. So, when a variety of wayward souls come seeking shelter in Sarah's own big, empty home, her past comes full circle. As this unruly flock forms a family of sorts, they—with Sarah—nurture and protect one another, all the while discovering their unsuspected strengths and courage.

We also plan on having a viewing of the FABULOUS ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY.... GREY GARDENS!! Here is a clip to wet your whistle: Grey Gardens
