The October 2014 

The Master Butchers Singing Club by Louise Erdrich
Chosen by Leigh
Meeting held November 7, 2014

It was an interesting discussion as many of the members had not managed to finish the book.  Andrea and Melissa, declined to rate it as they hadn't finished.  It was a tale of North Dakota and some of the people who settled in one town, from after the first world war, leading up to the second.  There were many characters that we wanted to know more about, and some we felt we didn't want to know better. 

Michele had read another book by the same author was not as impressed by this work.

Nans gave it a 5, as she said it didn't keep you awake.
Ellen gave it a 6, she felt the end was hurried up.
Michele gave it a 6, she felt that the author's sense of place was incredible.
Leigh gave it a 6, it was a book that could be read in spats in the beginning, but towards the end of the book you wanted to know where it was going.
