The Glass Castle wrap up/ April's book - Never Let Me Go

Thanks for those who were able to come last night. Sorry for those who were sick or had conflicts—hope to see you next time. I am pleased to announce that we had 100% readership for The Glass Castle and had a great discussion. Special thanks to Liz for hosting, Shannon for sending the discussion questions and VanAn for sharing the fruits of her labor from dessert pastry class!

We had a hard time selecting the next book, but settled on Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. A movie based on the book came out last year starring Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield, and Keira Knightly. I haven't seen it, but maybe some of you have?

An excerpt from an Amazon reviewer: A haunting tale of love within the modern world of DNA cloning. The story revolves around three friends who grow up inside the confines of an Engish "school" established for the sole purpose of raising cloned children; who will become vital organ donors.

There resides an overwhelming moral issue here! These children are human, and have love and aspirations of children born through normal means. The unresolved question is: Should harvesting organs from children born for this purpose ever be allowed?

No host or date has been determined. Any volunteers?
