we welcomed 2 newcomers tonight... Elise (-sorry you werent in the pic-)and Isis ,now officially our youngest attendee

the night was a hot one however the group rated the book somewhat coolly.
overall the feeling was that the author didn't deliver what the cover described. It was generally thought to be a "holiday"type read, whose characters struggled to grasp the readers attention.
It was felt the story line waffled on too long, however there was some discussion on the political situation in sri Lanka and how cultural racism is something that can perpetrate into new environments and possibly stop integration in a new country.

colleen .. 6.5 ...good holiday read.....characters soft and uninteresting
