We've added a star rating to our titles, 3 stars being the the most highly rated. This is in lieu of actually writing a review of the book, which almost nobody is. This does not mean you can't still write a review if you can dredge up the energy to do so. Simply add as a comment to this post.
This was a great evening, marked by some very good books and photos of THE TRIP (Barcelona - Frances) and THE WEDDING (Vancouver - Kathryn). Also a couple of movie recommendations: Social Network and the Earth Fire, Water trilogy.
Potluck Christmas party coming up on Dec. 12, 5 - ? at Kathryn's place.

Family Matters is the story of a family facing the task of caring for an aged parent. Even though it is set far away in India the issues facing adult children dealing with aging parents seems to be the same all over the world.
