Happy Bookers Discussion Group: Trust Wednesday, May 24, 7:00pm
In glamorous 1920s New York City, two characters of sophisticated taste come together. One is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; the other, the brilliant daughter of penniless aristocrats. Steeped in affluence and grandeur, their marriage excites gossip and allows a continued ascent -- all at a moment when the country is undergoing a great transformation. This is the story at the center of Harold Vanner's novel Bonds, which everyone in 1938 New York seems to have read. But it isn't the only version. Provocative, propulsive, and repeatedly surprising, Hernan Diaz's Trust puts the story of these characters into conversation with the "the truth"-and in tension with the life and perspective of an outsider immersed in the mystery of a competing account. |

 My mother-in-law was a good cook. One thing she was very good at was showing her love through her food. Her Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing was a favorite when we would visit. It turns out her salad dressing works great with the addition of fresh strawberries and balsamic vinegar. So, in honor of her for Mother’s Day, I’m sharing my version of Oma’s Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Poppy Seed Dressing. this recipe! |
