A Little Summer Reading

Hey there Princesses!
First of all, thanks so much to Alexis for hosting a great discussion about Olive Kitteridge! It was an interesting book that really made us think about life - great pick!

Now that it's summer, we have one of our founding members back in the city and we're looking forward to her hosting our next party. Welcome back Kathleen!

Kathleen has chosen a book that sounds amazing. It's called Death with Interruptions by Jose Saramago. Here are the deets:
On the first day of the new year, no one dies. This of course causes consternation among politicians, religious leaders, morticians, and doctors. Among the general public, on the other hand, there is initially celebration. Flags are hung out on balconies, people dance in the streets. They have achieved the great goal of humanity: eternal life. Then reality hits home, families are left to care for the permanently dying, life insurance policies become meaningless, and funeral parlors are reduced to arranging burials for pet dogs, cats, hamsters, and parrots. Death sits in her chilly apartment, where she lives alone with a scythe and filing cabinets, and contemplates her experiment: what if no one ever died again? What if she, death with a small d, became human and were to fall in love?


Sounds great!
Happy reading
