Present: Gill, Shubha, Jen, Nic
"Here's my message. Everything gets worse."
That's what Paul Bowles said was the message of the book. Well, it certainly did get worse for the characters in this book. But, we didn't love the them or, honestly, particularly care.
This meeting combined discussions of Revolutionary Road and Sheltering Sky. Gill summed up the view of the four present brilliantly and succinctly as follows:
"So, Revolutionary Road: Thumbs up; Sheltering Sky: Thumbs down."
I wouldn't read this again but I'd go back to Soif any time. We had three delicious bottles of red from Languedoc a succession of delicious small and medium sized dishes and, for me Jen and Shubha, glasses of delicious liquor too - though Shubha's walnut one was the surprise winner. Big thumbs up for Soif.
