Absolution - Alice McDermott

October's book club choice is well written and I found it enjoyable for the most part, but I am still struggling with how the title relates to the story. Who is seeking absolution, and why? What exactly for? Many of the characters do things that make little sense, and not a lot happens overall. I guess it will make an interesting discussion for the group.

A Council of Dolls - Mona Susan Power

Loved this book, which is filled with unforgettable characters who show us the lingering effects of the deplorable, racist policies directed against Native Americans in the U.S. There are a lot of heartbreaking scenes, but the overall message is one of hope and survival. I'm looking forward to the book club discussion.
