This book club is comprised of "mature" ladies with adult children (over 25), and we all belong to the same church. The spirtual connection was a key ingredient in our discussion. Some many of us had lost spouses ot others close to us. We talked a lot about the complexity of the character and the ways that grief plays out in life. It was also interesting to find out opinions of who the books was really about - Jude or Lexi. As someone else mentioned. we had very different emotional reactions. This is a good book for parents to start them thinking about how to interact meaningfully with their children and provide the correct kind of parenting based on the child's needs. Thank you very much for the opportunity to read Night Road.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495941548276470234.post-90121587829687686932012-01-26T15:19:53.935-05:002012-01-26T15:19:53.935-05:00Thanks, Diane!

The novel started out predictable with some discrepancies in character development, but after the crash, the characters and story becamed better developed. The description of the setting was impactful.<br /><br />Some of us related to Jude's reaction after the crash, while others thought Jude was being selfish and lacking campassion for her son, husband and granddaughter. How each character dealt with their guilt was so diverse and added to the complexity of the story. The book club had alot of discussion around how to communicate with teenagers on the dangers of drinking. All in all, the Goddesses enjoyed the book.Literary Goddesses of Mendhamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495941548276470234.post-64235610713916994202012-01-19T13:42:33.299-05:002012-01-19T13:42:33.299-05:00Our Book Club, BookBabes , of Fargo-Moorhead , was...Our Book Club, BookBabes , of Fargo-Moorhead , was one of the lucky winners of Night Road to read for our January meeting. We had a very spirited discussion of this book and found it worthwhile in that it touched so many life and parenting issues. We all had different emotional reactions to this book and recognized that these came from the different frameworks of our past and past family experiences. All of us have a professional psychiatry background which may have caused us to over analyze Jude and other characters! We appreciated the depth of the characters and their interactions. This is a good book for parents of teen-aged children to read in regard to alcohol use by teens. We felt this is an excellent book for book clubs to read as it generates good discussion and sharing of feelings. Thank you very much for the opportunity to read this as a group.

I also gave an extra copy to my mom. <br /><br />I'm planning on going to the Bethesda (Washington DC) signing. I've already taken a half day off from work to go. My friends may or may not join me, but I told them I'm going regardless. I can't wait.
