May meeting Cindy's house - Streetsweeper questions

Hi All - hope you all had a chance to read the 'Streetsweeper' by Elliot Pearlman.

The book club is at my place and for those of you that have not been here before it is at 605 Victoria Road, Seville. It is not far from Colleens . Instead of going down Chandler Road to Colleens you keep going along Victoria about 50 metres to the first driveway on the left hand side.

Questions to ponder prior to the night -

1.  Are we too distracted these days to hear people's stories? Why did Henry tell his story to Lamont and not his own son.

2.  How did you feel about Adam and his relationship with Diana and the relationship between Dr Border and Rosa?

3.  The novel brings together different people from different cultures and religions to tell the story of the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement in America. How powerful is this and does it work?

4. Did you find the book a bit too coincidental in parts?

Cheers and see you on Tuesday.
Cindy
