Invitation to Comment--up to page 190

We hope you're enjoying reading People of the Book. If you've gotten as far as page 190 in the hardcover book (247 in the Large Print Edition...up to but not including the chapter entitled "Hanna, Boston, Spring 1996"), then give us an idea of how you like it so far and any predictions or questions you may have.

Future Selections: June and July

We will be reading The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff for the month of June. At our last meeting, we learned that this book, though long (544 pages!), focuses on a woman who tries to abolish polygamy. Should be interesting!

Tutors and their guests may borrow a library copy of this book at our June 3rd meeting (12:05 at DCLC) or anytime during that week.

For July, our selection is Noah's Compass by Anne Tyler.  Members of the group recommended Anne Tyler's work for her quirky characters. This book involves a fifth grade teacher who wakes up in a Baltimore hospital, not sure of how he got there. The book will be available for borrowing at our July 1st meeting (12:05 at DCLC) or shortly thereafter.

Have you started reading People of the Book? If you've gotten as far as page 104 in the hardcover book (140 in the Large Print Edition...up to but not including the chapter entitled "Feathers and a Rose"), then give us an idea of how you like it so far and any predictions you may have.

Don't read the comments to this post if you haven't read this far. It may contain spoilers!! (Please don't comment specifically on anything past page 104 here. We'll have a followup post for the other two-thirds of the book.)

Lois says: Have already reached pg.190...Took notes on character names and plot to keep from gettting confused or forgetting. Thorougly enjoying the reading. Usually not a historical fiction fan. Reminds me of DaVinci Code.
