February Book Selection...

A Thousand Splendid Suns
by Khaled Hosseini
Khaled Hosseini has done it again with ?A Thousand Splendid Sons?, presenting a new, dashing and dark tale of two generations of women trapped in a loveless marriage, bracketed by great events. The book opens in the historical city of Herat, famed for its poets and ruins of a citadel built by Alexander the Great. Here the reader is confronted with the story of a tragedy, the birth of a harami or illegitimate child to a poor uneducated women whose father has left her due to the ignominy of the event. The story follows this child, Miriam as she is pushed into a loveless marriage to a cobbler in Kabul.

    Hey ladies, I know Morgan wanted ideas for meeting location. You would be welcome at my place which is in an apt building on the border of FFD & BPT, but I do have 2 cats if anybody is allergic. Or what about the Port Coffeehouse (BPT) or Borders (FFD)?
