Discussing Alice Bliss At the Cape Ann YMCA

Hi, Joey,

Hope you had a gorgeous summer-y weekend.  We were swimming in the ocean! Wow!

Can you possibly help me get the word out about the Cape Ann YMCA Book Club?

We’ll be discussing ALICE BLISS on Wednesday 10.12.11 @ 7 @ the Cape Ann Y.

This is a new venture for the Y  and it’s so great that they chose my book; I’d really like to make it a great event for them.

Hi there –

Quick reminder that our next discussion is tomorrow!

Click here for the Alice Bliss book club discussion guide – it provides some great background on Laura Harrington as a writer too.

Here’s a teaser question from Laura to get your wheels turning:

I’m intrigued by what good writers leave out.  I believe that you actively engage readers by inviting them/ allowing them to enter the story imaginatively.  Alice’s physical appearance is never described directly. There are several hints throughout the book that allow the reader to put together a picture of Alice, but for the most part, the character is built through her thoughts and actions, her mistakes and her yearnings. Do you have a picture of Alice in your mind?  Did this make it easier or more difficult to relate to this character?  (My hope is that every reader has their own Alice.)

Hope you can join us!
