What a great discussion we had on Saturday. The best part was how we all had different insights and thoughts on Mr Pip. Some enjoying the book while it was based on the island, while others of us definitely needed the closure that the grown up Matilda provided with her following the trail of Mr Pip and Dickens.
Even more interesting was the discussion on New Zealand authors, the theme being that people either have a strong liking or disliking of New Zealand authors and will either read them or not...
Looking forward to the next SBC meeting on June 27.
