CCR Book Club - September 23, 2020

The first CCR Book Club meeting of the Fall will discuss Ann Patchett’s new best seller, "The Dutch House." It has excellent reviews and is a good summer read. The New York Times review says, “As Ann Patchett explained in a 2016 profile in The Guardian, 'I've been writing the same book my whole life -- that you’re in one family, and all of a sudden, you’re in another family and it’s not your choice and you can’t get out. In [this case] the family is built both by blood and by love…' This novel takes a winding road through the forest and doesn’t rush to a finish, nor is the ending wholly surprising. But if you allow yourself to walk along with Patchett, you’ll find riches at the end of the trail.”

When: Wed., Sept. 23, 2020
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Where: by Zoom or in person on a large private terrace in the Ostiense area (nearest metro station: Marconi); exact address sent to confirmed participants by email.

CCR Book Club - September 24, 2019

The first CCR Book Club of the new club season will be another relaxing terrace meet-up.

We will discuss two summer thrillers, "The Woman in the Window" by A.J. Finn and "The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides. Members can choose to read one or both (they are light, quick reads that are hard to put down). At our September meeting we will talk about the genre of thrillers, their characteristics, and what makes these two books psychologically satisfying and suspenseful. The main characters in both books are psychologists! The first book is American and the second is British.

When: Tuesday, September 24, 2019
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Where: Via Bravetta; exact address sent to confirmed participants by email.
Potluck Lunch: Please RSVP letting Luigi know what dish you will be preparing for 6 people.
