My compliments to Lark for this upcoming selection. I have missed the last couple of books while reading other priorities. I am glad I am back for this one. I would not have read the book except for its selection, and I find it near perfect for discussion purposes. I f you are on the fence about reading the selection, I encourage you to try it. It exceeded my expectations.
