We had a nice meeting for Dee Henderson's murder-mystery Before I Wake last night at Tazza di Caffe. We would all agree that while it kept twisting and turning, there are some holes in the plot that we wanted to see wrapped up.
Our next meeting will NOT be November 26th; instead it will be November 19th to avoid any conflict with Thanksgiving Day. We will again meet at Tazza di Caffe on Valley View Drive to discuss Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt by Anne Rice. This novel follows the birth of Jesus of Nazareth to age 12, when he makes the pilgrimmage with his family to the temple.
Rice does a lot of research to construct what those "missing years" were possibly like. (Remember, this is a novel, which means it is fiction!) I think it is a plausible plot line (really, who knows what happened during that time), and voice is so stark and bare. I enjoyed the book more than I expected to, mainly because I never had an interest in her vampire novels. Rice also talks about her recent return to Christianity at the end of the novel.
Please join us on Wednesday, November 19th from 7-8 PM at Tazza di Caffe. Stop in for a nice warm latte or mocha around the fireplace. See you then!
