Recap ONCE UPON A MARIGOLD

Jenn B reported for the group's August discussion, "There wasn't a discussion leader so it was pretty freeform, but we all enjoyed Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris a great deal and were interested in checking out what else the author had written. Sadly, we all concurred that happy, funny books don't give you as much to discuss (though this book was a pleasant respite after our darker spring and titles like Fallen Angels). We did discuss gender some and the idea that the romance in this book turned the love at first site stereotype upside down because the characters actually got to know each other (via p-mail!) first."

Member of our group, didn't make the meeting? Add your comments too.

September's book is The Rabbi's Cat by Joann Sfar.
