Thank you to everyone who came last Thursday and contributed to making it such an enjoyable evening and not particularly hangover inducing! Those present included new members Maria and Pam, and added guest Andrew (with Carolyn) and Mary from 125 as she was celebrating her birthday.
The general view of The Gathering was very positive with an average mark of 8.5. Words used to describe: visceral, poignant, haunting, foggy, chronologically unsound, heart-breaking and kaleidoscopic.
The next book is The Ladies of the Corridor the last major piece of work by Dorothy Parker. It is a drama - not completely sure of the format in which it is written, (we can always have a play reading) and available for £6 on www.play.com It is loosely based on Parker's life and is a "searing" drama about women of a certain age living on their own in a New York hotel "empty nesters struggling with lives that have lost their centre"! Sounds fun.
