August - A Long Petal of the Sea

It was hot, the boss (ha!) was gone, but I'm told that the questions I sent were discussed (although that might have been an agreed upon strategy to make me happy!) and Becky's backyard won high praise. This one was not a hit, although many agreed it was an eye opener about some historical events, particularly the Spanish Civil War. 

It was a disappointment for me, too; I'm finding it hard to believe that so many found this to be a "best of" book for 2020. Sadly, we can't recommend this for other book clubs, although there is a lot to be learned here, including that Allende's father was once the president of Chile.
