2014 July Meeting - Arthur and George

It has stopped raining.  After what seems likes weeks of wet weather, tonight it is dry and cold.  Dianna's home is lovely and cosy and conducive to great discussion.

Arthur and George by Julian Barnes
In 1906, Arthur Conan Doyle took on the case of George Edalji, a reserved young lawyer, half Scottish and half Indian, who was wrongly accused of mutilating animals. These two men, from very different backgrounds, are brought together by a sequence of events that made sensational headlines at the time as The Great Wyrley Outrages. It is a novel about low crime and high spirituality, guilt and innocence, identity, nationality, and race. 
Caroline has decided to step down from the group.  Thanks for all your contribution of the years, and for being the receiver and sender of the bag of books.  It has bee really appreicated.  Best wishes, Caroline.  You are always welcome to come back.
