December Meeting
For our meeting on Fri December 16th, we read The Lonely Passion Of Judith Hearne by Brian Moore.
Jacket Synopsis:
Judith Hearne is a single woman of modest means, a middle-aged Catholic spinster who teaches piano to a handful of students. Her only social activity is tea with the O’Neill family, who secretly dread her weekly visits. But when she moves into yet another Belfast bedsit, her lonely existence appears to be at an end. Here she meets the lively and debonair James Madden, recently returned from New York. Charmed by what she sees as his amorous pursuit of her, Judith begins to dream of a brighter future – is she too late for love, or dare she let herself hope?
If you are looking for an uplifting book to read, this isn’t it. Thankfully we had our spirits lifted by our Christmas party which coincided with this meeting!
