Friday afternoon our book discussion group, The Bookmarkers Book Club, met at the library to discuss this month's selection, Sweet Music on Moonlight Ridge. Everyone enjoyed the lively discussion, not least of all, myself.
I'm so glad all the attendees had remarks pertaining to various parts of the book; it seemed that each bookclub member had a certain subject or passage of the book that grabbed their attention. We all had a lot to say about supernatural occurences, Southern childhood, magic, race relations, and character analysis. I was surprised to hear a few statements that exceeded my own interpretations, especially concerning Clyde Tucker, the Police Chief in the story, and possible criticisms and justifications for his behavior.
One thing for certain, everybody loved Studebaker Freeman!
If you haven't read the book, you need to! Technically a novella, or a short novel, it's a great read for summer.
Moonlight Ridge: it's a delightful place of constant revelation and discovery, with not infrequent mysteries and contradictions.
