Loving Frank: A Novel by Nancy Horan
 
Informative, Interesting, Dramatic
A scandalous, adulterous love affair based on the actual facts of Mamah B. Cheney and Frank Lloyd Wright are skillfully interwoven to reveal the indivuals involved.

The book prompted many discussions about the beginnings of women's lib, the arrogance or liberties of a gifted person,FLW's architecture, a comparison to The Fountainhead and Ayn Rand's philosophy, women's rights, child abandonment, isolation, an unexpected ending, mass murderers. Most members had done independent research about different aspects of the book and the discussion was lively.

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
 
Interesting, Slow, Dark
Set in England, Kathy H. reconnects with her best friends from school, Tommy and Ruth

Questions facing children with no parents, raised in Hailsham, an exclusive school in rural England,reveal that they have been cloned to be carers and organ donors. Originally we thought this was science fiction, but it reminds one of the Theatre of the Absurd in its dramatization of the feelings and questions about freedom and choice.
