Enlightenment - December CC Book Club Selection

Looking forward to this!: The Ten Thousand Doors of January - February CC Book Club Selection

What are you reading in the interim?

I am nearly finished with the short novel, The Spinning Heart by Donal Ryan. Many years ago – in 2014 to be exact, I looked it up! – this book was recommended by the late NJTheatreMOM. Those who remember her will recall that she was a discerning reader (to put it mildly). She wrote in one of our discussions, “The most recent prize-winning book I read that more than fulfilled its promise was The Spinning Heart by Donal Ryan.” I made a note of that, but the book languished on my to-read list until this past summer, when I was in a bookstore in Ireland and saw it on a table, signed by the author. I thought of her, picked it up, and came home with a fine souvenir. Thank you NJTheatreMOM, eleven years after the fact.
