'Cellophane,' by Marie Arana A Wilderness of Mud

We enjoyed our last meeting discussing 'Paula' by Isabel Allende. For the first time in a while, most of us had actually read the book!

Our next book is 'Cellophane.' Here's a link to a review from NY Times and a picture (thank you Barbara) from our meeting at Samia's. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/16/books/review/16schillinger.html

Great food, scintillating conversation and an excellent book.
