Thursday the 28th I will be hosting bookclub here at 12:30. I'm anxious to visit with all of you! I don't know how you have done things in the past, but I looked at some reviews of "Wish You Well" and thought these two questions would be interesting to discuss together:
Lou has great trouble
believing that her mother will get better, while Oz's faith never wavers. Do
you believe that the older we get, the less we believe in the possibility of
miracles? Is that solely because of the accumulated failures most suffer in life
which chip away at the idealism of youth, or is there another reason?
Lou and Oz learned
much about their family's past in the novel. The conveyance of such familial
knowledge is a major theme in the story. Do people today care about the past as
a guidepost to the future? Should we place more emphasis on oral histories and
lessons learned from our ancestors? Or is the future so different now that the
past holds little value for us?
