I was ever hopeful that I would be able to seamlessly change but you lot actually have lives ;) so I will leave it for Tuesday. Sorry for the kerfuffle. See you on the 2nd, 7:30pm, 3/25 Seymour Street Seville. I will try to get the questions out to you on the weekend.

Proposed reschedule for April
Hello all
I have foolishly double booked myself for next Tuesday (2nd) and was wondering if we could reschedule to the Wednesday (3rd) (or any other day that week!)
Please let me know in the comments or text me on 0403 361 483.

book club 5th March
Hi Everyone,

61 Monbulk-Seville Rd Seville, first driveway on left after roundabout, lemons for sale sign on driveway.
Hope to see you all
Questions
1. Why did Sarah decide to be enclosed as an anchoress? Her reasons may be multiple.
2. What choices were available to Sarah?
3. In the book of Genesis, Eve takes and eats the forbidden fruit, traditionally represented as an apple. There are two apples in THE ANCHORESS. What is their significance?
4. Why do you think the story of St Margaret was so important to Sarah?
5.Do you think Sarah should have told Anna that she knew Thomas raped her?
6. The word “holy” is from the Old English hālig, meaning “that which must be preserved whole or intact,” and is connected with the Old English word hāl, meaning health and wholeness. In current usage it is a word layered with expectations: love of God, niceness, meekness, obedience, piety, and so on. Sarah hopes and prays that she will become holy. Does she? If she does, in what ways?
7. Isabella says very little, but Sarah says she has helped her decide to stay. What do you think Sarah means?
8. In what ways does Ranaulf change?
9. The novel is set more than seven hundred years ago; does it have any relevance to women today? How?
