For the month of February we are reading The Time Left Between Us by Alicia DeFonzo. It’s a blend of memoir, history and oral storytelling. The book bridges the gap between the generation that fought WWII and the generation who has forgotten it. Alicia DeFonzo takes an unplanned trip to Normandy while staying in Paris. Her grandfather fought in WWII, and she becomes distraught on how little she knows about the war and his experiences. The book is a meditation on how deeply connected the past is to the present. We always welcome new members! Join every 4th Thursday of the month or only on occasion. Food and drink can be purchased at the restaurant. There’s always good fellowship. No RSVP needed, but feel free to contact Sue at sue.siewert55@gmail.com or 414-813-0091.
