Have I persuaded you to start a book club yet? This remains a rare treasure on our busy calendar of activities: a night just for moms. Our most recent meeting was to discuss the wonderful book Bel Canto. Set in South America, it brings together citizens of multiple countries to endure a hostage situation. I won't reveal any more of the plot, just trust me that it is well worth the read. I loved how the book drew me in and made me feel as though I was a hostage myself. Hearing what the other ladies thought of the characters and the ending made for some lively discussion when we met.
