Welcome to our third blogpost. Our meeting was held under the stars at Lynne Kudzy's house for the book The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen. One reviewer described it as " A profound, startling, and beautifully crafted debut novel destined to become a classic and redefine the way we think about the Vietnam War and what it means to win and to lose."
Reviews were mixed but some felt that it would win awards and others loved the "words in the book." Others did not love it so much, and gave it a thumbs down. However, all agreed that it was unforgettable and thought provoking for sure.
The meal itself was outstanding. Lynne went to great lengths to replicate the Vietnamese experience from dining. Here are some photos from the night.
I continue to be inspired by this group of talented ladies and their varied opinions. Can't wait to see what next month has in store for us.
