The Optimist's Daughter

Our first book club meeting of 2011 took place on January 22nd, at Liz's lovely home. She chose a book by a classic Southern writer, Eudora Welty, called The Optimist's Daughter.

Liz also provided a wonderful lunch, including home-made pear tarts. The book brought out a lot of discussions about family and family memories, and we talked about journals we have kept, or that our parents kept. Liz even shared a few hilarious excerpts from her college journal.
