FCM Book Club:The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel



The first FCM Book Club gathering of 2013 was hosted by Ella Wilkerson. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel by Deborah Maggach takes place in India and has a vibrant cast of characters as well as a wide selection of exotic fare.  The beverages were a big hit: Mango Lassis for some which is a mango smoothie and mango rum punch for others.

Ella served a wide variety of foods including chicken curry soup and pepper steak served over rice. The Gooey Cake was not a traditional Indian desert but it was a huge hit.

Overall, everyone enjoyed this book.  There characters are likable, some laughs and it brings up some important issues about the treatment of the aging generations. It is vastly different from the movie and both are worthwhile.

Mostly, FCM Book Club is about getting together.
