The Japanese Lover by Isabel Allende

In June, we gathered at Bistro Vida in Menlo Park at the very same restaurant where the idea of bookclub was conceived 14 years ago!  For this meeting, we read Rebecca's pick, The Japanese Lover by Isabel Allende.  The overall consensus was that we liked the book.  We had lively discussions about the Japanese internment, current politics, and Karen's upcoming move to Europe (!)  There was some talk of a future bookclub meeting in France. 

Because of last minute work travel, we had to shuffle schedules around and meet on a weekday night but we were miraculously able to get six of us together on late notice. (Go Bookclub!) We missed you, Liz!
