October 2010: Nervous Conditions (Dangarembga)

Post date: Oct 23, 2010 11:49:30 AM

The Smith Book Club met at Jane's on October 19, 2010. Our book was Nervous Conditions, a semi-autobiographical novel set in Zimbabwe. Challenged but certainly not daunted by limited members and limited reading, the group (Jane, Kathy, Patricia) diverted to a discussion of common personal and professional interests (2 social workers, one psychologist). After an enjoyable discussion and some delicious white wine and cheese, we reviewed the book club suggestion list on the web site, and selected Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout for our November meeting.

The September meeting should have been our summer theater outing. We attempted to plan a trip to CalShakes on Oct. 2, but not enough people signed up.
