South Shore Readers discussion

Know what makes this interminable, snowy winter even better? Reading books set in the winter!! Which is just what we are doing for April.

Our April book selection is the non-fiction work A Train in Winter: An Extraordinary Story of Women, Friendship, and Resistance in Occupied France by Caroline Moorehead.

We will be meeting in person on Sunday April 26th. See the event details and RSVP here: https://www.goodreads.com/event/show/...

You can join us at the meeting and/or join along in this topic for online discussion.

How about Legal C bar at Derby? We haven't been there in a long time (unless it was one I missed!)

Oops! Didn't see your post Joanie. I updated the event on Monday to have a location of Anna's in Plymouth. Would folks rather meet at Legal C Bar or at Anna's?

Location changed to Legal C.

AND, I got the book at the library last night and will likely start reading it later this week or early next week.

Just started. I have no idea what I've read so far

I may not be able to make it on Sunday. We have a conflicting birthday party at 2 in Cambridge.

I won't be there Sunday. I finished it today. I hate to be negative, given their story but this was a challenge. Parts of it were a complete blur to me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling that way. The writing just isn't that compelling and a lot of the stories just blend together.

I am finding the deluge of names to be rather Zhivago-Esque. Everyone is just blurring into the masses as I can't remember who is who b

I'm about a third of the way through now.

Hey no slamming the Yuri!

Though I confused them right to the end.

Since I read "A Train in Winter," Goodreads thinks I would enjoy Resistance: A French Woman's Journal of the War and Americans in Paris: Life and Death under Nazi Occupation 1940-1944.

Yeah. No. I'm going to start voting for a "dislike" button on Goodreads.

I can't attend but there is a reservation for 6 under my name at Legal C.

It looks like there will only be 3 of us. Maybe you should cancel the reservation?

There's something wrong with the GR app so I couldn't get to the event to see the headcount. I was at a children's birthday party in Cambridge. Good times.
