And another Beehive year wraps up with our annual Holiday Cookie exchange, this year hosted by Suzi. Our book choice was perfect for the season of giving...One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.
Here is what NPR book review had to say:
Poet, short-story writer and novelist Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni cut her teeth listening to her grandfather tell tales from the ancient Indian epics — the Ramayana and Mahabharata — by lantern light in his Bengali village. This storytelling legacy shines brightly in her entrancing new novel, One Amazing Thing, in which nine people in the passport office in the basement of the Indian Consulate in San Francisco are yoked together by fate when an earthquakes hits.
Trapped strangers are transformed into a chorus of Scheherazades, offering up tales of loss and love, and betrayal and redemption, to illuminate the gathering darkness.
i have a couple of photos of our cookie exchange if you want them.
