Couples Salon

It was a lovely evening spent with members of our couples salon: good food, lively discussion, and laughter.

The Reader, a thought-provoking book set in post-war Germany, provided a lot of fodder for discussion. I had never thought about the generation of Germans who were too young to have participated in the atrocities but feel shame and anger nonetheless. They have to deal with the reality that their beloved parents and grandparents had. How difficult that must have been.

I can’t imagine how I would have handled that.
