| Eternal on the Water by Joseph Monninger |
- A story about timeless love, sorrow and joy
- Setting - Maine (the Allagash), Yellowstone National Park, Indonesia
- Inspiring, touching ..... beautiful!
We started off by watching 3 short interviews which gave us an introduction to the author, his background, lifestyle and how he wrote the book:
Joseph Monninger - Wise words
We also looked at the author's bio and some reviews on the book:
Joseph Monninger - Website
Publishers Weekly
Interview with Joseph Monninger - Simon and Schuster
From there we went on to discuss the characters, our reaction to them and how the whole plot flowed. This led on to a deep discussion on Huntington's desease, terminal illness and how one reacts to euthanasia and assisted suicide ... also the impact it has on the family that is left behind.

An Evening with Alexander McCall Smith (20th March, 2014)
A couple of us attended this event at the Octagon Theatre, UWA. AMS is always entertaining and it is great to have that opportunity to listen to him talk about his writing. We were introduced to his latest book "The Forever Girl".
