Book Club discusses The Sparrow, February 18, 2006






Flash Slideshow



The Cousins Book Club met at the same place and time yesterday to share a meal and talk about the most recent book, The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russell. Della opened the discussion with a comment from Carol, who unfortunately couldn't make it and was sorely missed. Carol's comment related to the role that religion played in the book. Much discussion was generated, specifically around the issue of theodicy in the book specifically, and in the world we live in. The next book club read will be "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd and was chosen by Angie. As you can see from the slidshow, Lenny, Benny Marijke and I went to visit Grandma and Jennifer's daughters afterward.
