Maureen wrote: Everyone at the meeting liked the book. Each of us could relate in some way to the place Rebecca was in her life. We liked the various characters, and cared about what happened to them. Quindlan touched on many issues that are familiar to us. We don’t often see this in such a well-written novel, and it led the discussion around our various experiences. Victoria shared her artist’s perspective on Rebecca and the art that was produced in the story, and that was particularly interesting to me. I thoroughly enjoyed the session. Oh yeah – we ate scones.
