July Book Club Meeting

On July 28th 2009 the WOW book club discussed the book Loving Frank by Nancy Horan.
Present were Gloria, Karen M., Corrine, Debbie, Angie, Joyce, Linda, Barb, Margie.
Missing were Sharon, Stephanie and Diane.
Hostess was Karen T.
The discussion was a lively one with different points of view. Most members did not like the characters Mamah and Frank. We could not get past the fact that Maymah abandoned her husband, Edwin, and their children. We found Frank to be a brilliant architect but a man who thought he was above everyone, an arrogant man with a huge ego.
A few members thought Maymah felt stuck in a relationship which had no intellectual stimulation. They thought she seemed to be a woman who needed something out of life besides marriage and children.
Linda brought a beautiful book about Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs that we all looked at and Angie shared some wonderful quotes from the book.
Refreshments served were a Chicken Caesar salad, French bread, cheesecake and a banana nut cream cake.
The meeting ended at about 10:30pm.
