So much going on here. It definitely veers from book joy. I will stick to the book topic.
I am thrilled for ur book success. That's why I'm here. Book talk.
I am letting u know our longtime 25 year bookclub met last night, June 12, for a themed dinner party and review of your book, The Mango Tree.
The seven of us are longtime Ft. Myers friends. We are all professional women--4 retiring, 2 widowing.
Our rating was high. One 4. And the others 3+ Not many books are rated so highly by our group.
We enjoyed the naming of FM places. Two former teachers liked you are a product of Lee County Schools--a FM girl with talent, drive, and success. One knew ur kind teacher. Your episodic style of recounting chaotic situations and tragedy kept us reading one thing after another, incredulously on and on...in a good way. Of course we had read pseudonymous Jean LeBoef, and meeting the real person was enlightening.
We would like to think that we are the first book club to choose ur book and review it. I just know we are the only bookclub theming to Felon. We wore orange jump suit, handcuffs, took mug shots in front of a jail banner, served soup, salad, white bread, water in a cafeteria tray. Each member left with artifacts white out, and M&Ms. Of course we embellished with other things, but the gist of it is we loved your book and created a fun theme, in honor of your feisty mother.
I heartily agree with you! My spot here in Florida has given me beauty and peace when I’ve needed it. And I refuse to let it go amidst chaos.
