Back in the saddle

Maps for Lost Lovers by Nadeem Aslam
Night Train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier
Arthur & George by Julian Barnes
Sense of an Ending, the new novel by Julian Barnes
Case Histories is a 2004 detective novel by Kate Atkinson
One Day by David Nicholls
The Blackhouse is a crime novel by Peter May
Sex & Stravinsky by Barbara Trapido

Win, Place and Show, the books selected for November, December and January in this order are:

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer
One Day by David Nicholls
The Blackhouse by Peter May

Enormous thanks to Krysia (and Chris) for their delectable dishes and delightful hosting and to all who brought other delicious fare and especially for all of the book recommendations and an exceptionally productive and enjoyable meeting.

The November 23rd meeting will be held at Kerry's, Via di Mezzo 51, and the December 21st meeting will be held at Sheila's.
