#5a - Faceless Killers - Henning Mankell (Choice: Concensus)(Venue: part of meeting 5)
An additional book to tide the non-mothers over until the Jan 2007 meeting for Joy Luck Club.
Doris reads this author in the original Swedish and we decided that something was lost in translation as it came across as nothing more than a fairly undistinguished detective novel in the translation.
The build up was interesting despite some stilted language but the conclusion eventually came too suddenly, as though the author had become bored.

#5 - The Joy Luck Club - Amy Tam (Choice: Sarah's)(Venue: Ping Pong)
Present: Nic, Annabel, Jen and Sarah
Our first food-matching outing!
The book and the food met with approval by those who were present, with the mothers amongst us finding the mother-daughter relationships particularly poignant.
