The Relief Society Book Club met on Tuesday, May 20, 2008. We discussed the book, THE MEMORY KEEPER'S DAUGHTER by Kim Edwards. Everyone liked the book very much. This book has the capacity to evoke a lot of emotions in the reader. The relationship between the main character and his wife dredged up quite a few unpleasant memories of events from my marriage that I thought I had forgotten. In a way this was a healing experience for me. Not everyone in the group had such a reaction though. We spent a lot of time talking about the behavior of the main characters, whether they did the right thing or not and what we would do in their situation. Read this book. I give it 4 stars. Our book for June is THE DEVIL'S ARITHMETIC by Jane Yolen. Keep on reading.
