Lynn Juhl, Marie Hansen, Karen Doty and Christine Meloni discussed Out Stealing Horses at the inaugural meeting of the Reading Circle, held in the Lodge Library at the Cultural Center in 2009.
January 2009: Mystery Author Joins Reading Circle
It was truly special. The Reading Circle met in the
Cultural Center on January 19 to discuss the
mystery Hidden Falls, written by the lodge’s own
Carla Danziger. What a wonderful evening it was!
We had a fascinating book to discuss and Carla was
able to join us.
The protagonist of the book is an American of Norwegian
descent who goes to Norway to visit a cousin. Her cousin is
killed shortly thereafter, and the intense hunt for the killer
begins. Carla explained how she came up with the idea for the plot, developed the characters, and carried out her
research in Norway. A lively discussion of the book followed.
Having the book’s author present was a real treat for the
Circle members.
The group’s next meeting will be March 15th. The topic of
discussion will be Rolvaag’s epic novel about Norwegian
immigrants, Giants in the Earth. [photo]
