Our selection for discussion this month has a few things in common with the book we read for our last episode:
–We had never heard of it before
–The author was unknown to us
–The novel was originally written in German
–The book’s narrative uses a real event in history as a backdrop to the driving plot trajectory

Our selection this month also had a few differences that we were intrigued by:
–The author of this book is a woman
–The real event in history utilized to weave the novel’s story is The Holocaust
–The plot description on the book’s jacket sounded like something we would actually give a shit about

Part novel, part memoir, part scathing treatise on not learning from the mistakes of your past, “Patterns of Childhood” is a book that neither of us will be soon be forgetting. Join us as we discuss this thought-provoking post-modern take on the fragility of memory and coming to terms with the sins of your past.
