(4/13) April Book Club Meeting
Posted on March 30, 2011 | No CommentsSpring has (mostly) sprung and it’s time for another great Book Club discussion. This time, we are reading “Naoko” by Keigo Higashino.  According to Amazon, “Expertly interweaving the real and the unreal, Naoko involves a working man, Heisuke, whose wife dies in a bus accident. His young daughter survives, but seems to be inhabited by her mother’s personality.” It is a great character novel and we look forward to another great discussion. When: 7:00 PM on Wednesday, April 13th Where: Flatiron Building, 23rd St. and Broadway. Some of our wonderful members have found a nice space in there for us. As always, we will have refreshments. Please RSVP/ address questions to jill.schimmel@gmail.com. Tanoshimi \(^_^)/ -
