Dear book group, Thanks to everyone who joined in a very good meeting last night and a very big welcome to Stacy, Our next book is The Trees by Percival Everett. It's based on the murder of Emmett Till, a true story. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56269278-the-trees?fbclid=IwAR10LLuH8RneRNF0lhBtd1GDCERzmZiir0rPVJOgKcC3cURJmGtI6USDXBE There is a very powerful film about it simply called “Till”. I recommend it. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jan/04/till-review-a-powerful-portrait-of-courage-in-the-face-of-barbaric-racism The next meeting will be on 22nd March again on zoom. At 7.00pm. I am thinking of going back to live meetings in the Clockhouse please let me know your thoughts on that. We could alternate between zoom and live meetings, it may be possible to have zoom in the Clockhouse Zoom has the benefit that people abroad can join last night we had France and Ukraine adding a voice. Sometime soon I will attempt to show In Bruges in the Clockhouse. I have some sad news but I’ll take more time composing something and send next week. Thunderbirds are international! Chick.
