June 2009 - The English American

The next Book Club meeting will be on Friday, June 5th at 6:30 pm. Please check the Yahoo group for location and directions.

The book this month is "The English American" by Alison Larkin.

Alison is an English writer/comedian who was adopted and as an adult finds her birth parents.

This book is available at the public library.

Here are some reviews:

"The English American’ takes a warm and comedic look at who we really are...Pippa Dunn has to know, is it heredity that makes us who we are? Or, is it our own self-acceptance that defines us? More importantly, is the reason she feels like an alien because she was adopted? Or is it something else?"--Hollywood Today

"The English American is a funny, charming and poignant book - the kind that you can't resist reading in a single day. " - -Chicago Sun Times

Also, we need to decide on future readings. Please check the "Books Suggestions" section. We can talk about it during our meeting.

See you next Friday!
