Class of 1977 Book Club September 12, 8pm Eastern

Dear classmates, I am excited to announce that one of our classmates, Sue York, recently read a great book, ALL WE EVER WANTED, by Emily Griffin, and has agreed to lead our next Class Book Club discussion. We know its now summer and many of us have plans for part or all of the next two months, so we will give you plenty of time to read this book, and would like you to put Thursday, September 12^th, at 8am Eastern on your calendars for our discussion.

I asked Sue to tell me why she liked this book so much:

1. It is a story told from the point of view of 3 protagonists;
2. It gives a more balanced view of wealth and privilege than we typically get – i.e. mainstream media tends to vilify the rich when the reality is there are good and evil people across the socio-economic divides;
3. It is a good example of the dangers of social media;
4. Having worked with abused women as well as their abusers most of my adult life, I think it offers a good, if limited, example of the enduring life-long cost of sexual abuse;
5. It kept me guessing to the very end.

And I looked at reviews of this book and I found this one,

“Giffin is a worldwide best-selling author because she gets under your skin—by creating relatable characters wrestling within believable situations. . . . Giffin crafts an unpredictable page-turner that unfolds in the voices of three superbly distinct characters. . . . Her latest . . . is destined for greatness.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

So between these two reviews, I think we have a great book for our Class.

Of course I will send reminders out over the next 10 weeks, and here is the Zoom link:
