March Book Club
It's time again for another installment of Adelea's Book Club on Tuesday, March 23rd. This month we are reading Roses by Leila Meacham. It's a long book but so good you won't be able to put it down. Seriously...I found myself staying up until 2 a.m. reading this book on several occasions. As always, we will begin the night with a social at 6 p.m. with $1 off all alcoholic beverages and will then start the book discussion promptly at 6:30. The lunch menu will also be available should you be hungry. And make sure you come even if you don't finish the book...we promise you'll still have fun!
Roses
by Leila Meacham
Spanning the 20th century, the story of Roses takes place in a small East Texas town against the backdrop of the powerful timber and cotton industries, industries controlled by the scions of the town's founding families. Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and timber magnate Percy Warwick should have married but unwisely did not, and now must deal with the deceit, secrets, and tragedies of their choice and the loss of what might have been--not just for themselves but for their children, and children's children. With expert, unabashed, big-canvas storytelling, Roses covers a hundred years, three generations of Texans and the explosive combination of passion for work and longing for love.
