Books at Twelve-Ten Out For the Summer

Eight finished out a year of Books at Twelve-Ten yesterday afternoon with Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. Discussion of characters and history was preceded by travel books and maps as well as the library's available dvds of Island at War, a BBC dramatization of the story of the Invasion and Occupation of the Channel Islands in World War Two. Over the weekend I read the book. As I look back, perhaps we might have discussed the experience the central character shared in general with working women during the time that followed the war. For early baby boomers, the story can reflect on the experience of their own mothers.
