Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt is a heart wrenching memoir that tells a story that will haunt you long after you have read the last page. Our gathering was hosted by Jamie McDaniel. She had the difficult task of creating a menu based on a book where the central themes were starvation and suffering. Her choices were to serve watery tea and dry bread or actual food that young Frank only dreamed of. We were all happy she chose the latter.
The beverage was Guinness. The beer appeared throughout the book as many fathers purchased that instead of food for their hungry children.
The main course was an Irish potato soup served alongside a cranberry spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette
.
It was a wonderful evening spent discussing a book that everyone should read. Thank you Jamie!
Next up is The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore. An interesting tale of Christmas horror hosted by Abbie.
