Average Rating: 7.8Menu: Thai Chicken Curry and Lemon Chicken. Yum!
Last night Anne hosted a lovely book club at her house. She had the house decorated for Christmas and served. In addition to rating the book, Anne asked each of us to state what the English-version of our Cheyenne name would be. Here are all of our comments on "1,000 White Women":
Rebecca: 6.0 - "Tidy One" Wasn't excited to start reading the book, liked the history, but thought the storyline was too fictional.
Sara: 7.0 - "Woman who Runs Alone" The book exceeded her expectations, would have liked more historical references.
Dana: 9.0 -"Pale Dog-Lover" Became very engrossed in the book, liked how May Dodd was a leader; disappointed that Captain Bourke turned out to be so cruel by killing Horse Boy.
Erin: 8.5 - "Woman with White Hair" Liked the history of the book and the bullet hole on the front and back cover.
Erika: 8.0 - "Woman who Trips Over her Own Feet" Enjoyed how the relationship with May Dodd and Little Foot developed and deepened; she also liked the format of the book--she paid attention to the dates and how much time passed between each entry.
Tina: 8.0 - "Little Sleepy One" Liked the format, thought the ending was unrealistic. Would have liked a more realistic ending.
Becky: 6.5 - "Warrior Woman" We concluded that the character Euphemia reminded us of Becky.
Anne: 8.5 - "Shy One" Loved the story-enjoyed how the real names of the women matched their personality. Found the book to be an easy read.
