and Georgia’s, while others begin on unsure footing, like Darwin and Lucie’s. Some friendships develop easily, like K.C. The role of friendships among women is a central theme of The Friday Night Knitting Club.Why does Georgia reject her parents’ offer to house her and Dakota?.The Friday Night Knitting Club is her first novel. A former staffer at Redbook, Working Woman, and Family Life, she is now a freelance editor at the website for Lifetime Television. Kate Jacobs is a writer and editor who divides her time between New York and Los Angeles.
I’ll actually be home early on 3/29, as I’m going to be in Rochester for a meeting at 3:00 that shouldn’t take too long. I guess we’d better pick a date to meet and discuss the “Friday Night” and “SLAM.” I’m available this Monday (3/29) and the next. And a few others… hopefully I’ll read a lot during time off next week! I’ve read two of his books and loved them both. I also picked up a book by Richard Russo. It was hard to find, as it’s a memoir and was in some obscure section on the 2nd floor – and then even though the computer said one was available, someone had to go in the back and find the one ready to be reshelved for me! So I have it. I visited the library tonight and left with a pile of books, one of which is “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls. It’s Wednesday already – so much for the goal of a Monday night post! I guess it’s been a crazy week here, with choir schedule changing, a little girl’s birthday to celebrate, and a short-busy week at work! Have you ever re-written the ending to a book? I’m going to get it started tonight! Our next book will be “The Girls from Ames” by Jeffrey Zaslow. We decided to meet in TWO weeks to discuss “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls – a memoir. I am the “only” for my daughter and I don’t want to leave her too soon. So maybe that’s why I disliked the book so much after the cancer happened. We talked about it a lot after the flood but she says she is fine with the family she has and isn’t interested in more. We started emailing a few times a year about 5 years ago, and it is interesting. I know my situation as a single mom is very unlike Georgia’s, in that I had incredible parental support. It is an interesting time we live in for families. I didn’t want the book to end the way it did and we wondered what would have happened if James had never come back into their lives… how would their lives have changed?
Another nice night at book club – we grabbed the book (“Friday Night Knitting Club”) off the shelves at B&N for the discussion questions and discussed our likes and dislikes about the book – and then walked! My personal dislike of the book happened when the whole cancer thing happened.
