March Meeting and Book

It is time for BoOk CLuB again, and once again I am late in getting out our month's assignment!

I am tentatively planning on holding our meeting this Friday, March 8th, to watch the Hallmark movie based on our last book The Magic of Ordinary Days. I am not sure if we will watch it at my house or another location....suggestions are welcome. Please check your calendars and let me know if it is something you can attend!

The book for this month will be The Importance of Being Ernest, by Oscar Wilde. I have always loved the movie based on this book, and understand that there is a play as well, so I am excited to actually read the book!

Here is a synopsis for you:

"Oscar Wilde's madcap farce about mistaken identities, secret engagements, and lovers' entanglements still delights readers more than a century after its 1895 publication and premiere performance. The rapid-fire wit and eccentric characters of The Importance of Being Earnest have made it a mainstay of the high school curriculum for decades.

Cecily Cardew and Gwendolen Fairfax are both in love with the same mythical suitor. Jack Worthing has wooed Gwendolen as Ernest while Algernon has also posed as Ernest to win the heart of Jack's ward, Cecily. When all four arrive at Jack's country home on the same weekend, the 'rivals' to fight for Ernest's undivided attention and the 'Ernests' to claim their beloveds, pandemonium breaks loose. Only a senile nursemaid and an old, discarded hand-bag can save the day!"
