The book... The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain.
The meeting date... June 8, 2012.
To Refresh your memory... here is a summary from www.Shelfari.com:
'I don't know how to tell you what I did.' The unfinished letter is the only clue Tara and Emerson have to the reason behind Noelle's suicide. Everything they knew about Noelle - her calling as a midwife, her passion for causes, her love for her family - described a woman who embraced life. But they didn't know everything. Because the unaddressed letter reveals a terrible secret...and a legacy of guilt that changes everything they thought they knew about the woman who delivered their children. A legacy that will irrevocably change their own lives - and the life of a desperate stranger - forever. Diane Chamberlain gets to the heart of the story.What we said... There were about 7 of us present at this meeting...so a rather smaller group than usual. Not all of us finished the book by the meeting, however most of us thought that the book was written in a way that we were drawn to it and it was an easy and pleasant read.
Our conversation focused on how Noelle used poor judgement in the choices she made through her life and how sad it had become. The character Tara had gotten on our nerves with regard to how neurotic she was.
Some questions we brought up: How could Emerson be so casual about her business and have time for anything else? How does a person (Tara's husband) make a choice to marry someone for a lifestyle and overlook strong feelings for someone else?
And, what would we all have done if we were in the situation of any of these characters?
On another note ... Everyone have a great summer! Info on the September meeting will be coming soon. If you choose to read
Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L.James...we can talk about it at September's meeting along with the title of that month.
