As Night Falls: A Novel by Jenny Milchman

Dark, Dramatic, Scary
A binge read

All the club members were enthralled by this book and found it hard to set down while reading. I read it through from cover to cover. The 2015 prison escape in Upstate New York gave this an added since of possible reality, even though the book was written well before that escape occurred.

Cover of Snow: A Novel by Jenny Milchman
 
Book Club Recommended
Boring, Confusing, Slow
Good depiction of winter in the Adirondacks & the insular life in a small town.

The club members gave this book a 3-4 star rating. While no members professed to love this book or want to give it 5 stars, it sure did promote a lively discussion. Everybody wanted to talk! Our moderator had to tone us down a few times when everybody wanted to talk at once about ife in a small town, police corruption and the many loose ends left in the storyline.

WWII women pilots, friendship, spies, French resistance

Well-written story of British women's roles fighting in WWII. Not a happy story with plenty of death, torture and maiming of the principal characters.

 
Dramatic, Interesting, Insightful
