Thirteen-year-old Anna, conceived specifically to provide blood and bone marrow for her sister Kate who was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia at the age of two, decides to sue her parents for control of her body when her mother wants her to donate a kidney to Kate.

Liz says:

“I selected this as our first book because everyone was raving about it. The group, for the most part, seemed to really enjoy it. I, however, did not. The premise is interesting enough but the characters are not well-drawn and the ending is contrived.”

The rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo as told through the history of the Buendia family.

Liz says:

“O.K., I have to admit it, I DID NOT like this book. However, I do appreciate the literary value and complexity of the story. Many people love this book and I’m thinking they must have read it in an English course with the benefit of having a professor to analyze and discuss the symbolism that abounds in this story. By the way only 2 of us were able to get through this and the other book group member felt the same way.”

Recreates the slaying of the Clutter family of Kansas, and the capture, trial, and execution of their murderers.

Liz says:

“This groundbreaking book could be called a documentary novel or a work of creative non-fiction. It absolutely raises the level of crime reportage to literary genius as it is written with gripping details, masterful pacing and multi-dimensional characters. You will feel deep sorrow, fear and anger.”

Anju and Sudha, cousins in an upper-caste Calcutta family, grow up together, bonded by fate and heart, but their lives take opposite turns when they are urged into arranged marriages, until tragedy brings them back together again.

Liz says:

“Beautifully written book about family, loyalty, and cultural pressures. This is one of the group’s favorites”
