A week later than usual this month, our November book discussion is coming up next Tuesday, the 10th, at Linda's home at 9:00 am.
Our title is Identical by well-known author Scott Turow. We won't have a designated leader, so will do our best (and our best has always been more than adequate!)
I did just look up some reviews and found this from the New York Times, telling me much more than I had figured out. Maybe it will whet your interest.
"The novel takes its inspiration from the myth of Castor and Pollux, the twin brothers born to Leda after she was raped by Zeus. “For those familiar with the myth,” Turow explains in an afterword, “the parallels between it and my story should be plain, as is the fact that I did not allow the old tale to be any more than a fabric on which I did my own embroidery.”
"Still, that embroidery can be distracting. There are frequent references to twins in mythology, Shakespeare and the Bible, in what seems an attempt to give more heft to a perfectly good thriller, though one that takes a little time getting airborne."
Men, I suppose your breakfast plans will be the same as usual. If you want me to post any changes, please let me know.
