My French Whore - Gene Wilder, 2007 - read for Virago =, but can't attend meeting. Nvella about man who ends up impersonating a German spy during WW I. Reminded me of the movie "Catch Me If You Can". Sweet and sad.
The Madonnas of Leningrad - Debra Dean, 2006 - read for LLB and discussed at Geri's on 3/12. Enjoyed both the detailed description of the Hermitage Museum during WWII's Siege of Leningrad and the modern-day experience of Alzheimer's disease. Carol and Caroline found it a little too depressing, wished it was only about the historic side of story. Geri said she got more out of it after discussing and loved the historic aspects.
"Rumors" - Neil Simon - Cecily is in this play next month playing Claire. Lots of quick repartee as everyone tries to hide events from each other. Should be funny.
