Back row:Carolyn Slade, Linda Macleod, Sandra Nowlan, Janet O’Brien Front: Gisela Steffen, Grace Paterson, Gisela O’Brien Missing: Wendy Scott, Jackie Eisner. - ContributedIt’s a long time ago now, but after some asking around, it seems that Janet O’Brien first planted the seed.
“We’ve been through a lot together,” Sandra Nowlan, one of the original seven at the first meeting, said of the club, which next year celebrates its 40th anniversary. Among friends, it is also possible to have strong opinions on a book’s merits, without going away mad. The emphasis has been on Canadian books: the first two years of meetings included not only works by Kogawa but also Gabrielle Roy, Spider Robinson, as well as Janet Turner Hospital, and Brian Moore, both born elsewhere but who spent large periods of their adult lives in Canada, and two each by Farley Mowat and Timothy Findley.
“I was introduced to books that I might never have read otherwise, and am thankful for that,” Grace Paterson, another of the original members told me. The treats — which notably include Linda Macleod’s Lemon Trifle, Gisela Steffen’s Forrester Torte, Carolyn Slade’s nut-topped pound cake, and Nolan’s Danish puff with strawberries — appear.
